Gabby thankfully entered when she was supposed to, looking over at Alexa with a grin and giving her a little nod.

Alexa grinned and laughed, glad that the song was going perfectly so far. Then, after a few moments, she, too, joined in.

When Gabby started playing, Samantha added a little hi-hat rhythm to the beat she was playing, as well as more bass drum beats. Then, as soon as Alexa jumped in, the beat intensified overall; now, snares and crash cymbals were used to emphasize the song's underlying pulse.

When the song intensified, Alexa just had to start swinging and headbanging to the rhythm.

Gabby began marching across the stage as she played her guitar, stopping when she reached the side and going back the other way. Occasionally, she would start headbanging along, as well.

Mandy, letting herself become swept up by the rhythm, swung along, her leg beginning to bounce in time with it.

As the song's pace began to gradually shift, and the mood and melody changed, Alexa played some mild, but elegant-sounding arpeggios to accent the transition.

After one more cymbal crash, Samantha led the change in rhythm with a less-driving beat than before, more focused on subtly highlighting the qualities of the song's unusual 9/8 time signature with hi-hat, snare, and bass drum. For a moment, the beat sounded vaguely like a rapid waltz, save for the peculiar "extra" beats resulting from the time signature. Hidden behind this strange beat was a lingering "swing", which grew more prominent as the rhythm progressed.

Following Samantha's lead, Gabby's playing transitioned to fit the gradual changes in the song's pace and mood. As she played, her foot would naturally begin tapping every so often as she worked to keep in-time with her bandmates.

Mandy followed along with the song's shift, as well, focusing very hard as not to lose the rhythm. She was glad to hear that everything was seemingly going very well.

The song eventually fully transitioned to a swinging rhythm, and even seemed to momentarily almost change to a more typical-sounding time signature. Alexa swayed to the beat as she enthusiastically strummed out some swinging power chords.

When the beat was at its swingiest, Samantha lessened up on the hi-hat, only hitting it half as much as before. At the same time, she increased emphasis on the bass drum, using it to powerfully propel the swinging beat.

Gabby, with much enthusiasm, began swaying to the song's now-swinging beat as she strummed along, similarly to Alexa.

Following this next change in rhythm, Mandy began lightly swaying while she played, as well.

Suddenly, the pace of the song changed yet again, abandoning the swing entirely and moving on to a driving buildup. Samantha complimented this with a dramatic increase in double-kicked bass drum, as well as snare and crash cymbals on every accented beat.

When the song was about to start building up, Alexa made her way closer to Samantha's drum kit as she played, briefly looking at the others and motioning with her head for them to join her. Once she arrived in front of the kit, the buildup was underway, and she made sure to headbang in time to the most aggressive beats.

Mandy and Gabby moved closer to Samantha's drum kit when Alexa motioned for them to join her, both of them-- especially Gabby-- also headbanging in time with certain beats as the buildup happened.

Suddenly, Alexa stopped playing, striking a little pose as she strummed her last power chord for now.

It was time for everyone to drop out for a bit; Samantha's first drum solo of the song started now.

Samantha played a variety of rhythms and rolls on her toms, with the occasional snare and crash for emphasis. As the solo went on, it gradually got more complex. No matter how much variation there was with the toms' rhythm, however, she maintained a steady, throbbing beat on the bass drum to hold everything together.

Alexa simply stood by with a huge grin on her face and appreciated the drum solo, pumping her fist in the air a bit.

Slapping out one last bass note, Mandy promptly stopped playing when it was time for Samantha's drum solo to begin. As she watched, her mouth quickly spreading into a grin, she lightly began pumping her fist in the air, as well.

Gabby stood where she was, also excitedly observing as the solo began. At this moment, she likely would have started cheering out loud if she didn't think it would interrupt Samantha's focus.

At the end of the solo, backed by increasingly furious double bass-drumming, Samantha performed a long, extremely rapid tom roll, fluidly transitioning between differently-pitched drums.

Alexa couldn't resist cheering wildly at this point, pumping her hands--both signing the horns--in the air.

Mandy was grinning ear-to-ear by now, pumping her fist in the air with even more energy than before.

When the level of enthusiasm began to skyrocket, Gabby instantly burst into cheering with Alexa, both of her hands quickly flying into the air in excitement.

As soon as the solo was over--signaled by an extra cymbal crash when the main beat started again--Alexa came roaring back in, powerfully playing the song's core melody; the one it began with. As she did, she remained near the drum kit for now, facing the others. Grinning, she assumed a battle stance, acting as if she were about to courageously face some sort of menacing foe alongside her bandmates.

With great spirit, Samantha once again drove the song's heartbeat; intense and heavy-hitting, but with a touch of elegant technicality.

When their cue arrived, Mandy once again came thundering in with the song's bassline. As she played, she saw what Alexa was doing and returned her grin, joining in and assuming a battle stance of her own.

Gabby came back in along with the rest of her bandmates, her expression still aglow with energy. Quickly, she joined the "battle" alongside them, flying into a similar stance.

(Everything after this point in the song is still under construction irl, oops. And I haven't even started composing the rest of the songs yet. xD
NECESSARY TIMESKIP™
PS: Don't worry; shows won't be skipped like this. The musical aspect will just be described vaguely in cases where things haven't been composed irl.)

Quite some time later, the set came to an end with an improvised "big rock ending". Alexa played ferociously fast licks on her guitar, while Samantha pushed her speed, stamina, and technical skill on the drums to their limits to create the ultimate finale.

"HOOYEAH! OK, guys! That's it! That was excellent!" Samantha called delightedly to the rest of the band, grabbing a nearby towel and patting the sweat off of her face.

"WOO!!"
Alexa cheered very loudly, clearly feeling extremely pumped after the band's enthusiastic rehearsal. However, by now, she was also feeling incredibly hungry, due to having not eaten much earlier. "Alright. That was wicked... But MAAAAAN, are there any good eats around here?? I'm STARVING!" she remarked with a bit of a groan.

Mandy, after playing one final, rumbling chord when the big rock ending came to a close, cheered with joy, a large grin once again appearing on her face.

"AW YEAH!" Gabby shouted, leaping up excitedly. She, too, felt very pumped after the sheer enthusiasm of their rehearsal. Hearing Alexa's remark, however, she quickly turned her attention to her. "Yeaaaahh, you prooobably should've finished that wrap, earlier..." she responded, then gave a little shrug. "But anyway, there's gotta be something around here, somewhere," she added with a thoughtful look.

Mandy glanced over at Alexa when she she heard her remark, not surprised to hear that she was already feeling hungry again. However, she was sympathetic, and quickly tried to think of a recommendation to help her friend out. Thankfully, having read up on some of the area's local restaurants a while before the band had arrived here, it didn't take her long to get an idea. "I heard about a pretty good-sounding burrito place near here...!" she responded.

"That. Sounds. Literally. Perfect," Alexa replied to Mandy's recommendation, almost drooling at the thought of eating a good burrito. "Do you have, like, directions or something?"

"Yep; I've got a map right here," Mandy replied calmly, reaching into her pocket, suddenly pulling out a piece of paper, and scanning it for a moment. "It's basically right around the corner, actually...!" she added, noting that it would likely only take them a few minutes to make their way there from where they currently were.

"YES. Hey, can I borrow that map?" Alexa asked, walking over to Mandy and holding her hand out. "I can just head there on my own, 'cause y'know... Everyone just ate and everything. I doubt anyone wants anything else right now."

"Actuallyyy," Mandy started in response. "I've kind of been wanting to check that place out, myself, and I'm not sure if we're gonna have enough time tomorrow..." she noted, looking thoughtful. "Sooo, I'd be happy to go with you...! Even if I'm just tagging along for company, haha," she added with a little chuckle. "... But I probably will end up trying a liiittle something while we're there."

Alexa looked kind of surprised. "Uh... You sure?" she asked with an awkward laugh. "You just ate, like, fifty pounds of shawarma earlier..."

"Alex has a point," Samantha chimed in, looking slightly shocked. "It hasn't been THAT long since then; there's absolutely no way you could be hungry again already. Seriously."

Gabby stared at Mandy with an expression of disbelief, her mouth hanging open ever-so-slightly.

"Well... yeah... The shawarma was really satisfying," Mandy agreed, glancing down somewhat awkwardly upon seeing everyone's shocked reactions. "If I do end up getting something, it'll just be a tiny bite..."

Alexa only slightly burst out laughing.

"Ooookay... Just... Please don't overdo it, alright?" Samantha told Mandy, sounding almost a little numb.

"AHHHH. Alright, alright... For real; I'm gonna pass out or something if we just hang around any longer," Alexa remarked, still snickering a bit. "C'mon, Mandy; let's roll!"

"Alright... I'll try not to," Mandy replied to Samantha with a little nod, her tone sincere. Then, she waved to her and Gabby, smiling softly. "OK, see you guys soon...!" she added just before turning back to Alexa.

"Byeee!" Gabby waved to Alexa and Mandy, a subtle trace of laughter remaining in her voice.

"'Kay, so this is the place, right over here," Mandy explained to Alexa as she prepared to head out, holding the map in front of them and pointing to a specific, nearby location. "See? We can get there in no time at all!" she pointed out with a bit of a grin.
