AVPM Goin' Back to Hogwarts [COVER]
Project Overview
September's over. Are we skipping this town?
I wanna post a full cover of Going Back to Hogwarts, so if you're a Starkid fan, please audition! If you know anyone who you think would be good for this, please share the audition. I'd really like to be able to have all spots filled, but you're not limited to just being cast for one character if you audition for multiple! Gender also doesn't really matter: just as long as you get the right feel for the character, you have a chance!
Please comment your discord if you have it under your audition so that I can contact you after casting! If you don't have discord, send your files through the CCC roles. I may have you retake your lines a couple of times to make sure this cover is the best it can be!
Instrumental will be this, so try to make sure that you're in key when auditioning! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGe5KHpKGXo

Honestly, I'm absolutely in love with all of these vocals. But before I start casting, I do want to have auditions for all of the characters. It'd be great to be able to have all characters filled with no repeating voices, so if you know anyone who would be interested in this, please send a link of the casting call their way!
No need to sound like Darren! Harry's character is the main singer for this. Try your best to do the harmonies for these since he does a lot of those!
Underneath these stairs
I hear the sneers and feel the glares
Of my cousin, my uncle and my aunt
Can't believe how cruel they are
And it stings my lightning scar
To know they'll never
Ever give me what I want
I know I don't deserve these
Stupid rules made by the Dursleys
Here on Privet Drive
Can't take these stupid Muggles
But despite all of my struggles
I'm still alive
And it's gonna be totally awesome!
This year we'll take everybody by storm
Stay up all night
Sneak out of our dorm
We gotta get back to Hogwarts
We gotta get back to school
We gotta get ourselves to Hogwarts
Where everything is magi-cool
Back to witches and wizards and magical beasts
To goblins and ghosts and to magical feasts
It's all that we love
And it's all that I need
At Hogwarts
Hogwarts
The more bro you sound, the better your chances will be. I really want Ron to sound like the kind of guy you'd try to avoid in real life!
(spoken)
Did somebody say, "Ron"?
Hey man, sorry it took me so long to get here, I had to get some Floo Powder. But, get everything you need and let's get going.
Floo Powder power!
Floo Powder power!
Floo Powder power!
Floo Powder power!
We're sick of summer and this waiting around
It's like we're sitting in the Lost and Found
Don't take no sorcery
For anyone to see how
We gotta get back to Hogwarts
We gotta get back to school
We gotta get ourselves to Hogwarts
Where everything is magi-cool
(spoken)
Stupid sister! Don't crowd the famous friend!
Well, yeah, you never tell a girl you like her, it makes you look like an idiot!
That's Lavender Brown! Racist, sister!
Did you know that the brightest witch can't draw? Nothing specific that I'm looking for when it comes to her, but try to sound as annoyed as you can with Harry and Ron!
Because, guys, school's not all about fun and games! We have to study hard if we wanna be good wizards and witches! Ugh!
(sung)
I may be frumpy, but I'm super smart
Check out my grades
They're A's, for a start
What I lack in looks, well, I make up in heart
And well guys, yeah, that's totally awesome
We gotta get back to Hogwarts
We gotta get back to school
We gotta get ourselves to Hogwarts
Where everything is magi-cool
Back to witches and wizards and magical beasts
To goblins and ghosts and to magical feasts
It's all that we love
And it's all that I need
At Hogwarts
Hogwarts
(spoken)
Do you guys hear music?
Yeah, but he won't say anything to her.
Red hair, hand me down clothes, and a stupid complexion? You must be a Weasley. Ginny doesn't really have a major part in this song, so this doesn't have much requirements. Just have some energy when auditioning for her!
(spoken)
Ron! You were supposed to take me to Madam Malkin's and use those Sickles mom gave you for my robe fitting!
Whoa, you're Harry Potter! You're the Boy Who Lived!
Konnichi wa, Cho Chang! It is good to meet you. I am Ginny Weasley.
We're back to learn everything that we can
It's great to come back to where we began
And here we are
And Alakazam!
Here we go, this is totally awesome!
Come on and teach us everything you know
The summer's over and we're itching to go
Back to witches and wizards and magical beasts
To goblins and ghosts and to magical feasts
It's all that I love and it's all that I need at Hogwarts
Hogwarts
Back to spells and enchantments
Potions and friends
To Gryffindor!
How supermegafoxyawesomehot. Cho Chang is the most beautiful girl in the world. Don't know exactly what I'm looking for. Cho might be the stereotypical southern belle type like in the musical, or she might have a masculine voice like in the studio version. Who knows! Just have fun with her part!
Cho Chang
Domo arigato
Cho Chang
Gung hay fat choy, Chang
Happy, Happy New Year

Oh, that's alright. I'm Cho Chang, y'all!

I feel like you'll /find/ this part to be to your liking if you don't want too large of a part!
Cho Chang
I am so in love
With Cho Chang
From Bangkok to Din Daeng
I'll sing my love aloud
For Cho Chang
Back to witches and wizards and magical beasts

Hogwarts
Back to spells and enchantments
Potions and friends
To-
Hufflepuff!
The only one where I have a bit of bias to what kind of voice I'd want! Lauren's take on Draco is iconic, and it'd be beautiful if you could do a horrible British accent like she did for this!
(spoken)
Did someone say Draco Malfoy?
So, Potter, back for another year at Hogwarts are you? Maybe this year you'll wise up and hang out with a higher caliber of wizard!
Oh, isn't this cute? It's like a little loser family! Hogwarts has really gone to the dogs. But luckily next year, I'll be transferred to Pigfarts!
This year, you bet
Gonna get out of here
The reign of Malfoy is drawing near
I'll have the greatest wizard career
It's gonna be totally awesome
Look out, world, for the dawn of the day
When everyone will do
Whatever I say!
And Potter won't be in my way
Then I'll be the one who is totally awesome
Back to witches and wizards and magical beasts
To goblins and ghosts and to magical feasts
It's all that I love and it's all that I need at Hogwarts
Hogwarts
Back to spells and enchantments
Potions and friends
To-
Slytherin!
Another one of those characters that doesn't really have that strong of an appearance in this song. His characterization can be anything! I haven't decided yet!
Yeah, you'll be the one that is totally awesome
Back to witches and wizards and magical beasts
To goblins and ghosts and to magical feasts
It's all that I love and it's all that I need at Hogwarts
Hogwarts
Back to spells and enchantments
Potions and friends
To-
Slytherin!
If you're up for the challenge of making yourself stand out with one line, give Neville's part a shot! You also get to help out with yelling GRYFFINDOR
(spoken)
I think we're ready for
Albus Dumbledore!Back to witches and wizards and magical beasts
To goblins and ghosts and to magical feasts
It's all that I love and it's all that I need at Hogwarts
Hogwarts
Back to spells and enchantments
Potions and friends
To-
Gryffindor!
What would Zefron say in a time like this... we're all in this together, so if you're interested in making this project successful, audition for Dumbledore!
Welcome
All of you to Hogwarts
I welcome all of you to school
Did you know that here at Hogwarts
We've got a hidden swimming pool?
Welcome, welcome, welcome Hogwarts
Welcome hotties, nerds, and tools
Now that I've got you here at Hogwarts
I'd, um, like to go over just a couple of rules
(spoken)
My name is Albus Dumbledore and I am Headmaster of Hogwarts. You can all call me "Dumbledore." I suppose you can also call me "Albus" if you want a detention. Nope, I'm just kidding. I'll expel you if you call me "Albus!"
Last but definitely not least are the students in the background! I would absolutely love to make it sound that there are lots of students on their way to Hogwarts, so even if you're not comfortable with singing, if you have a clear enough microphone, audition just to say your House name!
Who knows how fast
This year's gonna go?
Hand me a glass
Let the butterbeer flow
We're back to learn everything that we can
It's great to come back to where we began
And here we are
And Alakazam!
Here we go, this is totally awesome!
Come on and teach us everything you know
