I was 11 in 2003, and finding myself through my oldest sister’s love of classic rock. It was thanks to her that I developed a taste for, as Jack Black’s Dewey Finn would say, killer vocals and shredding guitar.
“I think they were more concerned with, ‘Can you play this instrument?’ than, ‘Are you an amazing actor?’ because I think Richard Linklater, and [screenwriter] Mike [White], and Jack’s vision for the movie was that these kids are real and are really talented at playing their instruments,” Reyes said. “Katie didn’t exist until I walked into the room and they went, ‘Oh, huh, that little guitar girl’s got something over there.’ So really, that character was built out of myself.
She also noted that Tomika, who became such a valued part of the band by the film’s end, would have really treasured those connections made through the music. “By default it probably would’ve been the other girls,” Mayhrenate said of Tomika’s closeness with Marta and Alicia , the other backup singers. “We would’ve all probably stuck together and had our own singers’ community, whether we decided to stay together as a group or do our own thing, but still writing together.
“Gordon was such a fun and eclectic person in the classroom who was very nerdy and not afraid to be a geek, like really geek out. They definitely would’ve gone into something with graphics and imagery, something about the visuals. They would’ve designed the class yearbook cover, that person who is contributing to the aesthetic,” Infante explained, noting they would have attended “Carnegie Mellon for robotics or Emerson for theatre design.
On the opposite end of the personality spectrum, there was Zack, the band’s shy lead guitarist who was introspective and unsure of his immense talent. Joey Gaydos Jr. told me that his thoughts on his character’s life were open-ended. “I hope that wherever Zack was headed, his love for playing and creating on his instrument remained a guiding light for all his future travels,” he explained.
“Freddy would be the rockstar that he is, that Kevin is. I say ‘is’ because Kevin is still with us in spirit. Honestly, I think he would be teaching other kids how to rock out and be a superstar and own their creativity,” said Mayhrenate. “I think he would’ve stuck closest to [Zack]. Their characters were very close-knit in general, especially on set. Definitely still performing, doing shows. He knew he was it, walking in the doors. There’s only one way to go with that type of attitude: Up.
