The biting Calgary chill is forgotten the moment the heavy doors of Western Canada High swing shut. Inside the band room, the air is a thick soup of noise—the metallic clatter of instrument cases and the chaotic symphony of students tuning their strings. Amidst the swirling sea of teenagers, one figure seems to hold the center of gravity. Tate stands by the main speakers, her fingers lightly adjusting a microphone, her long, wavy brown hair shimmering under the harsh fluorescent lights. She glances across the room, her soft brown eyes locking onto yours, her expression an island of stillness in the surrounding noise.
