Five-Man Band Concert | comment |
The Five-Man Band has been a long-standing symbol of group unity, so what better way to do it than to show your cast actually performing in a band? It's sort of a cousin to the Dancing Theme and shows the characters playing instruments, rocking out, and having fun. Even if they never actually play the instruments in the series. If they do, though, all the better. Also, unlike the Five-Man Band trope, any character ensemble can do a Concert, so long they are canonically portrayed as a group and are seen interacting with each other. The band can perform In-Universe, in supplementary material and in the music videos of the Theme Tunes. Expect this trope to appear if there's a School Festival or if it's a Musical Episode. Compare with Fake Band. See also Image Song and Band Episode (when the band lasts only one episode). |

Adventure Time: Justified in the episode "What Was Missing" since the characters have to play in a band together to try to open the Door Lord's lair and retrieve their most precious belongings. The Hero and Heart Finn beatboxes, The Lancer Jake (who parodies Creative Differences as the band jerk) plays the violin, The Smart Girl Princess Bubblegum uses BMO as a makeshift synthesizer, and The Big Girl Marceline is the bassist and vocalist. They start off with "I'm just your problem", a song with strong Homoerotic Subtext. After several failed attempts, they disband. They are brought back together by Finn, who invokes True Companions with the song "My Best Friends in the World". It's first a solo but the others gradually join him — there's no beatboxing this time, though. | |

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension: In this cult classic, Buckaroo Banzai and The Hong Kong Cavaliers are both a crime-fighting and a music band. They give a concert at "Artie's Artery". The Ace and Leader Buckaroo rocks it on the electric guitar, Reno is the trumpeter, Perfect Tommy plays the electric bass, Rawhide is the pianist, and Casper on the drums. There is a couple of extra characters playing the guitar and the trumpet as well, so it's more like a seven-man band concert. Later, when Buckaroo asks Dr. Sidney "New Jersey" Zweibel to join the group, their rise their numbers. Numbers that sadly decrease when Rawhide dies. | |

Winx Club: "A Virtual World" starts a whole subplot in the fourth season about the girls creating a band because it's Musa's dream. Neither of them was previously stated to be able to play a musical instrument. Barring Musa, of course, who is the fairy of music and proficient in several musical instruments as well as having an angelic singing voice. The band, named Winx Club, is arranged as follows: Bloom, The Leader, is the main vocalist. Something that, curiously enough, enraged several fans because the spotlight should have belonged to Musa. Stella, The Lancer, plays the guitar. Musa, The Big Girl (she's a slim heavy-hitter), is also on the guitar and provides the backing vocals. Flora, The Heart, plays the bass. Tecna, The Smart Girl, plays the keytar. Very fitting for the fairy of technology. And Layla, the Sixth Ranger, is on the drums. From this season onward, they perform at least a couple of concerts per season: one at the beginning and one at the ending. Their most iconic song, however, remains to be "Heart of Stone". | |

Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad: The main characters belong to a teen rock band called "Team Samurai" but are never seen performing. The one time they skip classes to practice, they get interrupted. And then they do a magic act for the school's talent show. Purportedly, The Leader Sam is the lead guitarist, The Big Guy Tanker is the drummer, The Ditz Amp is the bassist, and The Smart Girl Syd is the keyboardist and vocalist. | |

And Yet the Town Moves: The waitresses of the Maid Cafe and Haribara form a band for the School Festival in chapter 8 (21 in the manga) with the song "The Maids". Of course, all of them are in their French Maid uniforms. All four girls are vocalists (three backing and a lead) but play different instruments: Boke Hotori with the accordion, Tsukkomi Toshiko with the violin, Haribara (a regular customer with Large Ham tendencies) with the drums, and their grumpy Senpai Kon with the guitar. Played for Laughs because the song's lyrics are nonsensical — one line is literally "Come on, Mammoths!". The makeshift band is featured in the ending theme, "Madis Sanjo!", and in the cover art◊ of the album. | |

The album cover art for the TOME soundtrack has Flamegirl on the electric bass, Nylocke on guitar, Gamecrazed on the keyboard, Kirbopher on drums, and Alpha as the singer. The Season 2 soundtrack re-iterates this theme, but with the Netkings, with Kindarspirit as the singer, Execk on bass, Rubirules on guitar, Webmaster as a DJ, and Bitshrum on drums. To allude to the second season's more techno-dubstep style (courtesy of The Living Tombstone), the Netking band uses electronic instruments. | |

Total Drama World Tour: In "Picnic at Hanging Dork" Team Amazon forms a band and sings about... sheeps, specifically, about "Shear the Sheep". Heather, who is surprisingly an Anti-Hero this season, as lead vocals; Courtney, The Lancer, as the guitarist; Cody, the The One Guy, as the bassist; Gwen, the Guile Hero, as the drummer; and Sierra, The Big Girl, as the squealing fangirl. Sierra and Gwen switched positions before the performance, though. Since this season's premise is a musical, this trope was very much expected, especially since everyone has been shown singing from the beginning. However, Courtney is the only one to play her instrument outside of this episode. | |

Scooby-Doo! and the Legend of the Vampire: In an inversion of the usual formula, "The Hex Girls" are the backing singers while the main stars are "The Meddling Kids" (aka the Mystery Incorporated gang). They perform a rendition of the franchise's Theme Tune "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?" in a winner concert at the end of The Movie. Some roles are shifted — Velma is the singer and doesn't play any instrument while Daphne is on the keytar. Also, it's revealed Velma does like to sing, just not in front of so many people. | |

We have Anti-Hero Lina and The Lancer Amelia providing the vocals, The Smart Guy Zegaldis playing an ax-guitar, The Big Guy Gourry ramming the drums, Token Evil Teammate Xellos on the electric bass, and Guest-Star Party Member Filia on the keyboard. | |

Haruhi Suzumiya: In one of the drama CDs, Haruhi assigns the S.O.S. Brigade rock instruments, although the gang doesn't know how to play them. The five main characters appear dressed as rock stars on the cover art of one of the Image Song CDs and on a poster◊ for the Haruhi Suzumiya concert. Downplayed in the episode "Live Alive", as it's only Haruhi (The Leader) and Yuki (The Smart Girl) who go on stage as stand-in musicians for the Cultural Festival. They both play the guitar and are in costumes (respectively, Playboy Bunny and Wicked Witch). Haruhi is the vocalist as well, and because of the double role, she needs a musical score during the presentation. They perform "God Knows" and "Lost My Music". |

Priss, The Lancer and protagonist, is the lead singer and the only one with an In-Universe musical career. Sylia, The Leader and the Big Good, is the backing vocalist and plays the electric bass. Nene, The Smart Girl, plays a multineck guitar. And Linna, The Big Girl (in terms of abilities, not appearance), is on the drums. | |

Instead, it's The Lancer who is part of the band because he turns out to be a talented drummer. The band itself is comprised of Jiro (voice and electric bass), Momo (keyboard), Bakugo (drums), and Tokoyami and Kaminari (guitars).

Scooby-Doo: After they solve the mystery and if "The Hex Girls" are involved, there's a concert and the gang is often a backing band of sorts for "The Hex Girls". Big Friendly Dog Scooby Doo is on the percussion, Lovable Coward Shaggy is on the bass, The Heart Daphne is on the tambourine, The Smart Gal Velma is on the keyboard, and Standardized Leader Fred is on the guitar. All of them are appropriately dressed following the goth style that characterizes "The Hex Girls". Such lucky, In-Universe Ascended Fans. Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost: They play the iconic song "Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water" as well as "Those Meddling Kids". Scooby-Doo! and the Legend of the Vampire: In an inversion of the usual formula, "The Hex Girls" are the backing singers while the main stars are "The Meddling Kids" (aka the Mystery Incorporated gang).

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks: The Movie's entire premise is this trope, complete with prelude shorts. Long story short, the villains turn the Canterlot High talent show into a vicious Battle of the Bands. Since they are not affected by the evil spell, "The Rainbooms" team up to stop "The Dazzlings" — Twilight Sparkle will write the counterspell while the rest will enter the show as a competing band to buy time for her. Rainbow Dash is the vocalist and guitarist, Applejack is the bassist, Rarity plays the keytar, Fluttershy is on the tambourine, and Pinkie Pie is on the drums. For this, they perform "Awesome as I Wanna Be". Later, they reunite to cast the musical counterspell together by performing together. Here, they are joined by Sunset Shimmer as the guitarist and Twilight Sparkle as the vocalist. Sunset Shimmer becomes the lead singer after they are temporarily defeated by The Dazzlings. | |

Juliana: Arañita and Pelé have gotten the shit beat out of them by Don Pedro because they've failed to pay up their quota twice. Everyone hears them cry and sob without doing anything until Juliana starts singing a cheerful tune from the radio. She slowly gets the other kids to play their instruments, even Arañita and Pelé, together so they can share a moment of joy and cheer the two beaten kids up. Notably, Arañita and Pelé do the percussion and Clavito plays his zampoña. | |

Kamen Rider Den-O: The "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune, "Climax Jump", uses this trope. The Imagin Four-Temperament Ensemble provides both the vocals and instrumental accompaniment separately. They sing as a quartet with only microphones in front of them (and act as backing dancers when one takes the lead). In interspersed cuts, they are playing rock band instruments. All four possess the protagonist, Ryotaro, to aid him in battle — turning Ryotaro into the absent Leader. Momotaros is The Lancer and on the electric guitar, Urataros is The Smart Guy and on the bass, Kintaros is The Big Guy and on the drums, and Ryutaros is The Baby of the Bunch and the DJ. | |

My Bride is a Mermaid: The opening has the characters as part of a music band: Sun, the Magical Girlfriend, sings; Nagasumi, the Badass Normal, plays the guitar; Large Ham (and Sun's dad) Gozaburo is on the drums; and Masa, the Only Sane Man, plays the electric bass. It ends with Sun and other characters (who vary depending on the episode's plot) dancing. It's all very fitting to the manga's comedic tints. | |

Deardrops: As if proving that Tropes Are Tools, it's Played for Drama in this visual novel. A Five-Man Band Concert is the premise —Shouichi, the main character, has his dream of being a professional violinist shattered, so he returns to Japan. There, meets fellow musicians — just, that they are not Classical Music artists but aspiring rockstars. Predictably, Shouichi gets roped into being part of a rock band and is only then that the Five-Man Band is formed. Shouichi, The Hero but not quite the leader, is the guitarist as well as his guitar teacher Yayoi (the Only Sane Woman). Riho, The Heart, is the singer. Eiji, The Lancer, is the bassist. And Cloudcuckoolander Rimu invokes All Drummers Are Animals because she features a prominent Animal Motif (cats), but is human. The drama part comes very early when Shouichi fails to play the guitar to his own, perfectionist standards and decides to break his hands and quit his first (makeshift) rock band. | |

Astro City has a literal example with "Powerchord", a rock 'n roll band composed of five super-powered beings. | |

Homestar Runner: Played for Laughs in "Halloween Hijinks". After the Large Bean shots a paralyzing beam to Teen Strong Bad, Teen Homestar checks on him and suggests they play in a band. Just like that, out of nowhere. Cue for an Insert Song sequence of the "Mysfit-teries" with The Leader Teen Homestar singing and playing the guitar, Token Evil Teammate Strong Bad (who gets defreezed for this) on the keyboard, The Heart Teen Marzipan playing both the tambourine and the trumpet, and The Big Guy Teen Strong Mad on the drums. They perform Kooky Monlight. Later, Stave aka Large Bean, because everyone forgets he's a murderer, is invited by Teen Homestar to play the classical guitar and provide some backing vocals in the song's reprise. | |

Heaven's Lost Property: Tomoki and the main cast form a band on the occasion of the School Festival. It starts light-hearted enough until Yakuza Princess Mikako turns it into Serious Business and a Battle of the Bands against Sorami Academy — a Private School full of stuck-up jerks. The arrogant rich kids set up an orchestra of Classical Music and play the "New World" symphony. Meanwhile, the kids of Soramy School have a fumbling song that Tomoki purposefully messes up — it's called "Nipple, Nipple Big Nipple!", what did you expect? And then proceed to perform the real song. The new arrangement has Robot Girl and ace Ikaros on the vocals, Nymph (another Robot Girl) on the keyboard, Artificial Human Mitsuki on the drums, Ax-Crazy Mikako on the electric guitar, Ditzy Genius Sugata on the electric bass, and Dirty Kid Tomoki on the classical guitar. The song is called "Falling Down". | |

Jabberjaw: The cartoon's premise is that a band called "The Neptunes" has an amphibious shark for a drummer. Besides the titular character, who is The Big Guy, the band has Standardized Leader Biff on the electric guitar, Only Sane Woman Shelly on the tambourine, Mellow Fellow Clamhead on the bass (and, occasionally, the trumpet), and Cloudcuckoolander Bubbles on the keyboard. Their instruments are appropriately ocean biology-themed. | |

Lucky Star: After Story: In Chapter 19, the band Red Roses and Blue Violets (organized by 5 of the original characters) perform "Castle in the Sky" at a Halloween party concert. Basically, think of them as the Lucky Star version of Ho-Kago Teatime. As for the members, Ayaka is the bassist, Nanami is the lead guitarist, Mariko is the drummer, Chiyoko is the lead singer and the keyboard player, and Tomoyo is the other lead singer and the percussion player. In Chapter 27, Hiroko joins as the saxophone player And in Chapter 28, it's Mikoto enters the band as a backing singer and a percussion player. | |

Code Lyoko: Several members of the cast form a band in an early Season 1 episode — Odd on the guitar, Ulrich on the keyboard, Jim on the slide trombone, Nicolas on the drums, and Yumi the singing. Only Odd and Nicolas had any real skill at their instruments, and after that episode, the band was never mentioned again. | |

The First Shop of Coffee Prince: Deconstructed. The Coffee Prince shop staff gives a concert as a publicity stunt. It ends up being all percussion because they don't know how to play any instrument. Min Yeop is the DJ and presenter and describes his fellow coworkers as mister Hong, the handsome Han Kyul, The Ditz Eun Chan, the vain Ha Rim, and the waffle Sun Ki. | |
