One rainy afternoon, Nora noticed a bright new on the café wall.
It announced a local music that would take place in exactly one month.
The promised something amazing to the single winning band.
"If we win this , we will play at the big city ," she read aloud.
The city attracted many thousands of excited fans every single summer.
For a small garage band, such a stage seemed like a completely impossible dream.
"If we , we will probably embarrass ourselves again," Sam said quietly.
The painful memory of their first disaster still hurt every one of them.
But Leo really wanted to try, and he decided to convince the other three.
"If we never take a single risk, we will never grow at all," he argued.
Mia agreed, saying that they finally had a real song of their very own.
They chose to fill in the entry form together that same rainy evening.
"If we practise every day, we will be ready in time," Mia promised the others.
The to for the was only two short weeks away.
Nora hoped to prove to her doubting family that her music truly mattered.
Sam decided to fix his old drum kit carefully before the important day.
"If the judges hear our real sound, they will surely feel something," Leo said.
They planned to their original song until every note was perfect.
Each of them agreed to give up their free evenings for one whole month.
"If we give everything we have, we will have no regrets later," Mia told them.
They wanted to prove that four strangers could become something far bigger.
That night, the band signed the form and posted it into the box together.
If their names were accepted, they would receive a reply within a few days.
For the first time in weeks, real hope had returned to the little garage.
