Campbell (Range: G3-E5)

A senior head cheerleader whose world gets turned upside-down when she transfers schools. She is constantly working towards the goal of a championship and her “one perfect moment”. After using her friends to exact revenge, she realizes that friendship is much more lasting than a trophy.

Danielle (Range: F#3-F5)

The head of the Jackson dance crew. She has fought her way from nothing to make a name for herself, which leads her to not put a lot of stock into people like Campbell. But she has a tendency to bring down her walls and embrace a true friendship.

Nautica (Range: F3-E5)

One of the Jackson dance crew. Not the sharpest person on the squad, but is loud enough to make up for it.

Randall  (Range: C#3-Ab4)

Jackson’s school DJ, mellow and friendly. A true Cinderella story, working his way from a dorky freshman to a smooth senior. He becomes attracted to Campbell for her heart, bravery, and determination.

La Cienega  (Range: D3-E5)

A transgender woman. Any ethnicity. Her gender is simply not an issue, accepted by her friends, barely referred to. BFFs with Nautica and Danielle. Has a wicked tongue but a generous spirit.

Steven  (Range: D3-A4)

The only male cheerleader on the Buccaneers and Campbell’s boyfriend. Tender and comforting, but not the most adept to his surroundings.

Kylar  (Range: A3-D5)

One of the Buccaneers cheerleaders. An extremely loyal follower of Skylar who keeps her intelligence hidden under a bushel.

Eva  (Range: A3-Eb5)

Campbell’s neighbor and the newest member of the Buccaneers cheerleaders. Her initial impression is one of naiveté and meekness. But she proves to be a social climber who schemes to take over Campbell’s life at any cost.

Twig  (Range: E3-F#4)

One of the Jackson students and a hip-hop artist. His hormones make him lust after Bridget.

Bridget  (Range: A3-F5)

The mascot for the Buccaneers. Nerdy and unathletic, but she strives for a place on the cheerleading team. Despite being an outcast, she has a good heart and a great spirit.

Skylar  (Range: G3-Eb5)

One of the senior Buccaneers cheerleaders. Her popularity has given her quite the mean streak, though she does not have the brains to make up for it.

Cameron  (Range: E3-F#4)

One of the Jackson students, a hip-hop artist. A combination class clown and attempted ladies’ man, but he strives for fame and fortune.
