Chapter 135 - Ch. 135 Music Genre Placement

The first day of music camp went well. After the program 'Harmony Piece,' they were divided into sections with the different music genres. They couldn't choose the music genre they want. The placement of this genre of music was through a random drawing.

Each team chose a leader to lead their music group and came forward to take the lottery for the placement of their music genre. Some get jazz music, and some get country music. Some felt relieved because they get a music genre that they are good at, but some curse their bad luck to get the theme they are bad at.

When Kaylee's team came forward to take the lottery card, Kaylee's friends chose her to be their leader. They all knew how Kaylee was… the real 'Nick' who led them in the music battle two weeks ago.

That's why no one objected if Nick… er... Kaylee became their leader without having to vote like other groups did during the 'Harmony Piece.'

Kaylee walked forward, where the camp leader was waiting for her behind a tall black box with a circular hole on top. The box contained tennis ball-sized balls of different colors.

Each color indicates a different type of music genre according to what is determined by the camp leader. Kaylee remembered when she attended music camp a few years ago, the way to draw for genre music placements was quite simple.

They only need to draw a lottery number and follow the type of music genre according to the number set.

Why are they now bothering to prepare balls with different colors? The idea of ​​the head of the music camp organizer was bizarre yet interesting.

Kaylee looked at the color list board along with the meaning of the colors according to the music genre they were going to place.

Crimson balls are rock genre music, and Kaylee wished she had never picked up a crimson ball. Brown balls are a country music genre, and pastel-colored balls indicate pop genre music. R&B music, which was one of her favorite music, was colored a bright blue.

Kaylee wished she could get the blue ball once her hand entered the high box. Unfortunately, the box was pitch black blocking everyone to peek inside.

The circular hole where her hand would enter wasn't big either. The hole diameter was only enough for a hand to go in and out without making the person who took the lottery ball peek at which ball he will take.

"Please take your music genre ball." urged the keeper made Kaylee take a deep breath.

Kaylee put her hand in the box and prayed that her luck would be very high today. She didn't mind getting any ball as long as it wasn't dark red or black. Especially the BLACK one.

Well, her fiancé's surname is Black, and she liked it because the color suits Declan's handsome face very well. But the black on this ball required her to play heavy metal music, and she hated it!

'Please, not the black one. Not the black one.' Kaylee prayed in her heart as if her prayers had become her daily mantra.

As soon as she felt her hand had caught a ball, Kaylee pulled her hand out and showed the keeper the color of the ball she picked up.

Kaylee breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the color of the ball she picked up was neither crimson red nor black, but… lime?

"It's lime. Your music genre in this camp will be contemporary jazz."

Kaylee's lower lips down hearing the announcement.

Contemporary jazz?!

She can play a bit of jazz, but… her classical music and jazz style have an indescribable love-hate relationship! Could she do it?

Kaylee walked back to her team member's table with the ball she had picked up. The most enthusiastic in responding that they would play jazz music was only Jacob and Letti.

"Yes! I can finally show off my forte!" exclaimed Jacob made Adam and Fritz frown.

"Lucky for you. I can't play jazzy chords."

"How about me? My fingers went numb, fingering on the bass fret in a jazzy style. Nick, you have bad luck."

Kaylee scoffed, hearing her friends' complaints. "If you're not satisfied, why don't you just take the lottery ball?"

Adam and Fritz shook their heads in unison, rejecting the idea. "No. We don't want to be team leaders!"

Kaylee rolled her eyes lazily and sat back down next to Jacob as usual.

"What kind of jazzy song do we know?"

"How about the song Rainbow of life?" Letti's suggestion made Jacob glow.

"Wait a minute. You know the song Rainbow of Life?"

"Of course. Katleen Morse is my all-time idol."

"You're kidding. She was the best jazz singer in the world. Unfortunately, she has retired and no longer sings. If I had been born when Katleen Morse was still singing, she would have been my number one idol."

Letti giggled at Jacob's adoring tone while Kaylee, Adam, and Fritz looked at each other while hearing the interaction between Letti and Jacob.

"I know, right. She was the best among the best. I wish I could hear her once more time."

"Totally agree." nodded Jacob while muttering a melody that his friends assumed was Katleen Morse's song. 

Letti also sang a duet with Jacob spontaneously, and of course, Letti's voice was much more pleasant to hear than Jacob's. Nevertheless, the two of them sang it with enjoyment making Kaylee and the others laugh.

"Alright. It looks like we'll have to learn Katleen Morse's song for the next two days. Do you know who Katleen Morse is?"

Adam and Fritz shook their heads in response to Kaylee's question.

"I have her songs!" declared Letti, sounded more enthusiastic than she should have been. Then pick up her iPod and played one of her favorite Katleen Morse songs.

Typical jazz music sounded as the opening, and a sexy, melodious hoarse voice echoed in the ears of Kaylee and others. Katleen Morse's voice was another whole level!

No wonder she became a legend in New York.
