This is Alexis' Freshman year, when she wants to try something new, she tries out for the school color guard team, and makes it. After practicing and learning the parade routine, she is introduced to the marching band, she meets this boy.

When Blue moves to a sleepy rural city hiding from a past she wishes she could forget, she wants to focus on one thing. Music. So, trombone in hand, she joins Buchanan Preparatory School's infamous marching band, known only for playing worse than the football team, which is a feat in itself. She never imagined though, that things would get so complicated. She is bombarded by attention from boys of all types and social ranking, but must ultimately defy them all in order to keep her secret safe. But when she does finally open up her guarded, broken heart, she finds out that sometimes your past isn't important. And sometimes, it is.
