The Averton High Battle of the Bands is coming up!

Aang = Guitar (Although he's a multi-instrumentalist).
Katara = Bass.
Zuko (Only a few days before the concert takes place) = Drums.
Toph (living up to the stereotype) = Keys.

Sokka doesn't actually play any instruments, instead he's in an electronica group with Suki. Of course, this isn't really Battle of the Bands stuff, so they don't compete.

Not sure about the bad guys, but Ozai has the ultra high pants of Simon Cowell.

As far as my reasoning went, Toph was a drummer because she loved the percussive element of the instrument. And someone who can feel vibrations in the ground might have a very good sense of rhythm. Also, drummers are classically the 'crazy' member of the group and it's pretty easy seeing Toph getting up to some crazy rock n' roll shenanigans.

As for Mai being a bassist, basically, she was mostly in the band because they couldn't find anyone else. Her real passion was cello.

And Jet just got smushed into there somewhere because we needed another guy to round it out.

...I'd imagine one band to be atleast somewhat Tame Impala/Mid Rolling Stones-ish.
One'd play the sitar, another a piano, with one on harp or something.

So it'd make sense in my book.

I am so fucking expanding on the Glee/Avatar universe from >>79803 with characterizations:

Katara Berry is the adopted daughter of two gay men. Basically the student leader of New Directions, she believes she is the best for every musical selection. She's pretty unpopular and gets slushied on a near daily basis by the jocks and Cheerios. She's extremely driven and does whatever she can to reach her goals, although she only thought of herself. Eventually she learns to be a team player and instead of setting goals for herself, she sets goals for New Directions to accomplish. She was previously in a relationship with St. James and is now dating Aang.

Aang Hudson all-around jock and the most popular guy in school, he's forced to join glee club after Hakoda learns about his amazing singing and sets him up with a bag of weed. He's the son of a single mother and has devoted his entire childhood to making her proud. He was in a relationship with Fabray in which time she was found to be pregnant and did everything he could to help provide for his but really Sokka's kid. He goes apeshit when he learns it's really Puckerman's kid and leaves Fabray. He's used as Lopez's beard for a short time, but finally realizes his feelings for Katara and they're now in a steady relationship.

Note: I am so disregarding Rachel's canon relationship with Puck in the actual show because that creeps me out when Avatar is put into the Glee universe to have Sokka and Katara in a relationship.

---

Suki Fabray, previously a Cheerio, found comfort in New Directions after Sue Sylvester had Azula, Ty Lee and her infiltrate glee club to destroy it from the inside out after she was kicked off the sqaud for getting pregnant even if she was in the celibacy club. She had a previous relationship with Aang who was thought to be the father, but it's shown to really be Puckerman's kid. Her parents kicked her out of her house and moved in with Jones. Puckerman and Fabray gave up their daughter - Yue - for adoption and is adopted by Berry's mother.

Sokka Puckerman, the self-proclaimed stud of all the high school, joined glee club after Hummel scored the winning goal of the football game. He learns that Fabray is pregnant and pressures her to pick him over Hudson. Fabray calls him a "Lima loser," which he vehemently tries to disprove. Eventually, he does and falls into a secure relationship with Fabray. He was previously dating Lopez and Jones.

---

Azula Lopez became head Cheerio after Fabray became preggo. She uses her prior relationships with Puckerman and Hudson to hide her relationship with Ty Lee. Slowly, she's opening up to glee club after seeing how Coach Sylvester could be like and how New Directions treats Ty Lee and becomes immersed with New Directions. She starts to show public displays of affection (even if they're small) towards Ty Lee around the glee club members only.

Ty Lee is second in-command Cheerio after Azula. She is literally inept after confusing a ballad with a male duck and thinking a dolphin is a gay shark. Speculated to be is totally in a secret relationship with Azula. She has a hard time remembering her middle or last name. Although she had bad intentions in the beginning of joining glee club, she eventually became friends with everyone involved.

Note: Ty Lee accidentally let it slip that they had previous sexual relations with each other. Most likely on more than occasion.

Note 2: Inb4 someone gets mad about shipping Tyzula in everything.

---

Teo Hummel is arguably the biggest homosexual in the entirety of high school. His father, Leo, is a very successful car mechanic. He reveals to that he's really gay and he's too afraid to admit it in fear of disappointing his father. In order to try and appease his father after he was found dancing to Beyonce's Single Ladies, he joined the football team as a kicker and won the high school's first game. Shortly after, he finally comes out to his father who's not completely comfortable with it, but assures Teo he still loves him and stuff.

Toph Jones becomes Suki's best friend during her pregnancy. She develops feelings for Hummel and when he says he has feelings for someone else who she misinterprets as Berry instead of Hudson and she busts his front windshield. After he comes out, they become total BFFLs and shit. She's a badass and a powerhouse and doesn't take any shit.

---

Mai Cohen-Chang was reprimanded for her gothic style because of "Twilight fever" and was forced to change her clothing or face the consequences. She was shown to have a stutter when she became nervous but it turned out it was fake.

Zuko Abrams was in a car accident when he was younger which caused him to lose his mother and all feeling in his body from his waist down. He was in New Directions from day one and had signed up with Mai. He formed a relationship with Mai which he promptly broke off when he found out she was lying about her stuttering but got back together shortly. He's always inspired to be a dancer. He tried walking with crutches with the help of Mai but fell flat on his face and temporarily lost his honor.

---

Jet St. James is the lead male in New Direction's rival glee club. He has a short-lived relationship with Katara and joins New Directions to help them win regionals. However, when everyone thinks he's a total douche, Katara dumps him and he returns to his original group.

---

Sue Sylvester - head coach of the Cheerios and Schuester's in-school rival. I didn't pick anyone from Avatar to be Sue because Sue is too awesome.

Hakoda Schuester - Spanish teacher and coach of New Directions.

Kya Pillsbury - love interest of Schuester.

Principal Iroh Figgins - self-explanatory.

Well, if we go with the idea of one band playing Stonsey rock, we've got the idea from in the begining of Sokka and Suki being a techno/house band. That's two massively different cultures right there, since electronic music owes its history to classical music (through Kraftwerk), and rock to the blues.

No.79939
Aang – Newly transferred to the school after his old one ended up being burned down. Was in the orchestra of the old school, but since this school doesn't have keeps his trusty flute and tries to make it work with the rest of the bands, but doesn't got over well. Ends up befriending Katara and Sokka on his first day.

Katara – I'm kind of tempted to make her a drummer, so, like the show, she can get her power from the Moon yes, I am ashamed of that. But all terrible puns aside, her character in the show makes me either think of either a bass player or rhythm guitar – There keeping everything flowing together.

Sokka – Anyone who has seen the Wayne's World SNL sketch with Tom Hanks as the roadie knows that we can't have that be Sokka. That's why I think the house/electronica/whatever band idea with Suki is a good bet, because it's music for people who can't play instruments.

Sokka and Zuko form a two man band called "That's rough, buddy".

No.80121
I've actually thought this through before.

Sokka and Katara start out trying to form a band, but they only have the two of them so they start out as a White Stripes kind of thing (with Sokka on the drums and Katara on guitar) until they meet Aang, who's a boy genius that's just skipped a few grades. He's a musical prodigy and can play any instrument, but prefers the flute (this part just added in after reading this thread). He joins their band and they keep getting into crazy band battles every episode. Eventually Toph joins (on bass) and even later Zuko (on lead guitar; Katara switches to rhythm guitar) and then Suki (on keyboard).

But that takes away the distinction of being a "bender". Aang being a multi-instrumentalist ties in with him being the master of all elements, but beyond that it's all fair game. I'm not saying that specific elements need to represent certain instruments, but being a bender should show proficiency with an instrument.

Though I'm aware some people here don't believe in talent, (I do, but I accept the possibility of one working for one's skill) I think it's a fun possibility to play with.

Bender = Talent. Can play an instrument (based on what exactly he/she bends) and be good at it innately.
Non-Bender = Untalented. Doesn't stop them from trying, and some of them actually being decent.

I do see when you're getting at, but part of Sokka's character was not being able to do what everyone else can do. If he can pick up an instrument and pluck along, even badly, he's doing what they're doing.

Although given Zuko's obsessive pursuit of Aang, I could also see him pulling a Kevin. And he certainly has the haircut down.

Actually, now that I think about it, Mai does bear somewhat of a resemblance to Bilinda Butcher. And Aang would fit the 'omni-competent drummer' bill. And then years later go on to be the non-singing half of Katara Water Tribe and the Warm Intentions. :D

I picked Sokka being a drummer because it's something you can pick up pretty quickly and be decent at if you have any sense of rhythm, but if you're really good at it, you can blow people's minds. I kind of picture him as only being able to keep a beat at first and only getting a little better until he meets Piandao (drummer of the Gramps with Amps band White Lotus) and after a few lessons with him, he starts getting really innovative.

I chose Suki for the keyboard because the keyboard is a versatile instrument and Suki shows an innovativeness in combat on the show that I thought would transfer well to the keyboard. If you really want a stricter no instruments for non-benders thing, she could work as a DJ and Sokka could be a rapper and we could go for a Linkin Park kind of sound (with a flute), but I really don't want Sokka and Suki not being part of the band just because on the show they can't bend.

Also, Sokka should be guitar if we're talking about how easy something is to pick up. But, make him not all that good, but still able to absolutely rock shit. Look up how many classic rock songs are made up of like 3 basic chords.

Anyway, who's to say there needs to be only one band? After all, the finale had them split off. Not saying that should be the basis of who's in a band, just saying.
