Welland Centennial Secondary School presents:

What We Had Was Noise

When her high school band collapses in betrayal and heartbreak, sarcastic misfit Jamey hatches a desperate plan to reunite her old band — but to save the music, she must mend the friendships she broke, or risk losing not only the band, but her home, her best friend, and her chance at redemption.

A year after her high school band imploded in betrayal, sarcasm and heartbreak, Jamey is still stuck in the shadows — slinging fries at her mom’s failing diner, dodging responsibility, and hiding from the spotlight. When her ex-bandmate and rival, Zach, launches a new band, she hatches a desperate plan to reunite the band, win Battle of the Bands, and save everything she’s about to lose. 

But bringing her friends back together means repairing the fractures she helped cause — especially with Elaina, the gifted frontwoman who both inspires her and challenges their relationship. As pressure mounts, Jamey must learn that fixing the band isn’t about rewriting the past, but facing it — and finding the courage to finally step up, even if it means standing in the light she’s spent her whole life avoiding.
