The first of MANY dropped threads in this story. What seems like a throw away line about Tiara doing what Bianca tells her to, initially had far more meaning.
In earlier drafts of the script for Jam in the Band, I had planned on writing more to the backstory of Pitch Girl’s formation. Details about Tiara being the youngest and most naive member of the band, who had basically been tricked by the scheming Bianca into joining Pitch Girl. At some point I realized this was over explaining things that didn’t need to be explained. Later there will be a line about Tiara’s mother, this is also related to said dropped backstory. Having left this flashback out, I hardly feel its absence. How do you the readers the feel? Should I have included more about the early days of Pitch Girl? Maybe I should write it into the third volume.
On a final note. Before I had the title Jam in the Band, I wrote the script under the name They Don’t Love You Like I Love You. This is from a time when I though there would be more of an unrequited romance between Bianca and Nathan. It is also obviously a line from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs song Maps. Let’s all watch that now shall we.
