comment
A webcomic created by JazzLover5972 (formerly PinkPeonyPie5972), also known as Phily K. Illagan. It is hosted on DeviantArt. It began on July 16, 2014. The entire structure is inspired by Battle for Dream Island.Caroline Doctrina starts an odd music program called SWAP (String, Wind, And Percussion) Ensemble under the orders of Tierney Cabalbag. Those who participate must come to rehearsals every day of February for two hours. There is a big solo, but everyone wants it, so they must settle it with a contest. However, not every challenge has to do with music.Childhood friends reunite, Clashing Cousins fight, and new relationships form as the competition goes on. Meanwhile, Caroline tries and fails to keep her patience with the kids and her superiors while she runs the show.You can view the comic here.

Visible Silence: In Day 6, everyone up for elimination uses ellipses when Troy is declared safe. Patrick's second line of dialogue is during the rejoin voting. It portrays no real sound.

comment
Eliminated from the Race: From Day 14 onwards, the structure changes to a blend of elimination and Voted Off the Island. The contestants gain points based on their performance in the challenge, then the audience votes in favor of a product of that challenge. The contestant who has the least points by the next Practice Room segment is eliminated.

Different in Every Episode: One would expect the characters to change clothes every day. One would not expect Guilla's hair to change so dramatically every day. The band room has a detailed arrangement on its walls, much of which is liable to change on any given day. Sometimes the plaques and posters are rearranged, taken down, or restored.

comment
The Stinger: These sometimes occur after the contestants are put up for elimination. Day 4: Cedric and Cassie agree to go on a date. Day 6: Cyrissa gets the ensemble to agree to wear red and green for the next day. Day 10: Braeden and Angelo give a vague hint about the following day's clothing theme. Next, Troy has a phone conversation with his father while carpooling with Turie. Then Flo and Patrick's foster mother gives them new sets of clothes, which they promise to wear the following day. Day 11: While Alfred is driving home, Cedric mentions inviting two people whom Alfred dislikes, causing Alfred to give up driving before possibly crashing in a rage. The percussionists wheel around a heavy container while discussing their personal lives. Day 12: Trudy throws a tantrum while talking to her mother. Vincent tells Paris what his girlfriend, Carella, did to him the previous day. Harry talks to his younger brother about investigating Carella. Braeden has a conversation with his younger sister. Day 13: Elsie argues with Corbin about why their least favorite cousin has to show up. Guilla talks about a surprise she has planned for Connie. Bessie calls Claire for being too lazy to hang out with her friends. Day 15: Trudy confronts Vincent about not breaking up with Carella. When Vincent's parents arrive and are horrified about their horrid haircuts, Vincent assures them that Trudy is entirely innocent in the matter. Day 17: Flo was about to do a rooftop gymnastics routine, but she changes her mind because her hand still hurts from the Practice Room segment from earlier. Day 18: Flo goes through with her rooftop gymnastics routine as Claire and Angelo watch on. Day 19: Vincent gets hair-styling tips from Vincenza, while Claire earnestly apologizes to Paris for all the trouble she has given him.

Early-Installment Weirdness: As the comic goes on, more features change. The first two days were not lined with ink. Everyone had narrower eyes. Trudy did not have a beauty mark, and Corbin did not have an Idiot Hair. Gretta was shorter than Guilla and Cedric. Claire did not mind when people outside of her friend group called her by her first name, though she rarely spoke with such people anyway.

Painting the Medium: The borders of the panels are usually not clear-cut. Sometimes people might go over the borders, while other times they might grab the borders like the top of a fence. Bessie even sits on one border.

comment
Mark of the Supernatural: The contestants are Magic Musicians who are designed to resemble their instruments. The differently-colored streak in their hair evokes the mouthpiece or fretboard of their instrument. Other musicians mix and match hair colors more freely, owing to their Insanely International Ancestry. Red and purple eyes only occur in Magic Musicians, which helps some percussionists (like Cyrissa) stand out when they lack natural hair stripes.

No Dress Code
 SWAP Ensemble (Webcomic) / int_58dc30fe
comment
No Dress Code: Zig-zagged. There is an apparent lack of a shoulder taboo for both genders, and the bustier girls would show a bit of cleavage in anything that isn't a crewneck. Short shorts magically go past the fingertips. It's possible that the dress code only applies during school hours, as all the characters have jackets to cover up. Characters always change to practical clothes when the challenge calls for it, and a lab dress code is strictly enforced for the challenge in Day 9.

Age Is Relative: While the contestants' ages are explicit, they don't all look their ages. Patrick is in eighth grade, but he is often helpless and looks much younger than all the seventh graders. Troy and Turie, on the other hand, make it past the first phase of the competition and could pass for high school students.

Nonconformist Dyed Hair: Inverted with the percussionists, who dye their hair to fit in with their fellow Magic Music users since they lack a natural hair stripe. Zigzagged with Paris, who's naturally a blonde but initially dyes his hair to a reasonable black before changing to bright red mid-season.

Gale-Force Sound: Double subverted. Day 12 opens with Cassie opening the band room door in the middle of a trumpet sectional. The ensuing chaos is actually the result of music-bending. Day 13 opens with Claire doing the same in the middle of a trombone sectional, but there is no indication that music-bending was used.

People of Hair Color: Music benders tend to resemble their primary instruments, which are races in this world. The brass are light-skinned and blonde with silver streaks, the woodwinds are tan with black hair and silver or blonde streaks, and the strings are dark-skinned and brunette with black streaks. In addition, Braeden has dark red bassoon-colored hair, Guilla the guitarist has ginger hair in contrast with the four-stringed instruments, and the flutes have silver hair with no colored streak. The percussionists and non-music-benders look like ordinary humans with no pre-defined special characteristics.

Like Reality, Unless Noted: SWAP Ensemble takes place in an entirely different world that revolves around music and has magic and near-futuristic technology. Despite this, the world appears to operate on a 24-hour day and 365-day year with several major American holidays. All the western symphony instruments exist, and the music follows western music theory. Snowy Pines High School has all the marks of a typical American high school. A Californian high school, to be specific, since the classrooms open to the outdoors.

Color-Coded for Your Convenience: The characters all speak with unique colors. Caroline has blue, Tierney has maroon, Philyra has a dark magenta, and Samuel has a light brown. Pages 14 and 15 can serve as a cipher for the twenty contestants. The voting squares usually have colors that each contestant is closely associated with. When Caroline lets the contestants toss the voting squares on the board, one of them realizes that they didn't get any votes when they see that the remaining two colors have never been associated with them.

Can't Catch Up: The rhythmic and melodic dictation challenges have a scoring system that dooms a disadvantaged team from the start. After each round, the four contestants with the lowest scores are dropped. This continues until an entire team is dropped. The individual contestants who did not do well at the start will never catch up to those who got perfect scores. The team falls several points behind for each lost contestant.

Fantasy World Map: In Day 21, Trudy pulls out a world map for a family heritage assignment. It has three distinct colors for "continents", though the east-most continent doesn't have a dominant landmass. It reveals that the home setting, Clavier, is in the southern hemisphere.

Eye Scream: Downplayed. All of the brass students end up with a black left eye by Day 8, though they all heal by the following week. In Day 5, Turie happens to be in the line of fire when Trudy throws Vincent's wallet. In Day 6, Trudy gets a punch to the face, courtesy of Vincent. In the same day, Corbin cleans his glasses in the middle of the basketball game. The basketball hits him in the face. In Day 8, Troy builds a very unstable tower and disregards the rest of his team. When Caroline places the metronome, the tower falls and the metronome lands on his face.

The Password Is Always "Swordfish": Averted in the "Infiltration" bonus strip, in which Guilla breaks into Philyra's laptop to hijack her social media accounts. Guilla and Cyrissa briefly discuss the strength of the password, which Guilla claims is predictable and Cyrissa thinks is complicated, but the password itself is not shown.

comment
Inspiration Nod: Once Caroline convinces all the students to desire the big solo, she says, "We must settle this with... A contest. Get what I mean?" Caroline explains that the contest will have phases to give it an opaque structure. Cary Huang stated that future BFDI episodes would no longer have a points phase because the show would be too opaque. Patrick asks if the contestants will get to choose team captains, and Troy rudely tells him that "this isn't an inanimate object show." Cassie and Trudy's rejoin statements almost match Pin and Flower's word-for-word. In Day 8 and 9, Guilla sneaks up behind Cyrissa and Connie (respectively) and screeches in the way of Four from Battle For BFDI. When Caroline tells Trudy how many rejoin votes she earned, Trudy asks if that's enough to win, just like Snowball in BFDI's third rejoin. Day 16 is titled "Cake at Stake," the name of BFDI's elimination segment. After Philyra interrupts the opening of The Practice Room segment to deliver more votes, the segment opens with BFDI's points Cake at Stake segment. Caroline and Philyra then hold up some Four plushies because there were 44 votes. Day 17 is titled "The Power of Three" after the BFB spinoff "The Power Of Two".

Take That!: The Choices-style scene at the end of Day 10 is a jab at the way the game charges diamonds to go out with friends (or family), accept an outfit that someone will give you, and get help on an important task, among other things. Day 14 takes it even further, with Josefina calling Marianna out for acting like a Choices protagonist. Day 20 specifically calls out Witness: A Bodyguard Romance for making a diamond choice out of what could have been a quick-time event. Larissa laments that Claire won't play Diskaryote with her anymore because it cut out her favorite starter line, which is a clear jab at the Dexit controversy.

Before he can warn her about what a pain it could be to read, she snatches it aggressively.

Shout-Out
 SWAP Ensemble (Webcomic) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Magic Music is referred to as music-bending. The spin-off Behind Closed Doors notes that this nomenclature is only used by children. The contestants periodically dress up as characters from other franchises. It's at a smaller scale in Day 5 but fully coordinated starting in Day 8. The clothing themes include RWBY, Danganronpa, Ace Attorney, High School Story, Pokémon, Persona, AI: The Somnium Files, and Your Turn to Die. Caroline's sample transcriptions are from "Your Best Friend" and "ASGORE". At the end of Day 10, Angelo convinces Marianna to come to SWAP in a hand-drawn Choices-style interface. The same interface comes back when Cyrissa meets Marianna and offers to exchange numbers. Connie's recital piece in Day 14 is "No, That's Wrong!" On the cover, it's written with the font of the Ace Attorney "Objection!" text. When Corbin is eliminated in Day 15, Caroline tells him, "It's your turn to go to The Practice Room." It's clearly intentional, given the existence of Behind Closed Doors, a spin-off that is a Whole-Plot Reference to Your Turn to Die. While the O'Daunt sisters existed before Rules of Engagement, the author fleshed them out with that story. Caroline tried to sabotage their scholarship like the cousin tried to sabotage the siblings' inheritance. Elise is very forgiving, just like the protagonist. Elise and Sally wear clothes that resemble their in-game counterparts. Sally and Larissa refer to Muggles as Tuneless. "Tune" refers to music in this case rather than being short for "(un)attuned".

Gosh Dang It to Heck!: Vincent's Big "SHUT UP!" carries the same weight as an actual swear word with the benefit of being uncensored. Trudy learns the Harmonie (French) equivalent to get away with saying it. When Troy is on the phone with his father, begging for him to show up on Valentine's Day, it is implied that a bad history with Turie's father is keeping him from going. Troy responds, "I don't care about your dumb history!" Turie treats it like a curse word. Claire actually uses the word "heck" in an out-of-character moment in a joke page.

Competence Zone: The younger contestants generally have less developed skills, so the teams with more young contestants tend to go up for elimination. The history test is particularly unfair because music history is not even in the middle school curriculum.

Weather Dissonance: It looks awfully bright and warm outside for a February evening.

April Fools' Day
 SWAP Ensemble (Webcomic) / int_eac3ee70
comment
April Fools' Day: In 2019, a "finale" was released. Patrick points out that the "orange contestant" always wins, citing Firey, Orange Juice, and Ivy Fisher. Caroline names orange-haired Guilla the winner upon hearing this. There are several tells that this is a joke: The word "finale" is purposely misspelled, Patrick's speech color appears when Flo is depicted and vice versa, and all of the art had previously been used in Days 7 and 8. In 2021, Day 18 was in its voting period. A joke Day 19 page was released, in which most of the audience votes were lost and Ellen Ottavi was selected to rejoin despite being a non-contestant. The chapter title is "In Prom Two", a corruption of the actual title, "Impromptu". In 2022, a joke page was released when Claire and Paris were supposed to present their drawings in Day 21. Paris drew a crewmate, to which Claire responded with an uncharacteristic "What the actual HECK?!". A brief voting period followed to influence Philyra's immunity pick. 2023 reiterates the original April Fools comic in the context of the finale. With Guilla as a finalist, the joke isn't so far off-base anymore.

Strip Buffer: The nature of the story prevents it from having a significant buffer, but it sometimes gets a buffer within the Day. Sometimes a page is posted once a week until all the pages are done. At that point, they might all be posted at once, or the schedule speeds up to once a day. Sometimes pages are just posted the day they are done.

Fully-Clothed Nudity: Cedric enters the band room closet and sees Cassie in her underwear, so she screams and tells him to knock next time. Said underwear consists of a tank top and shorts.

comment
This Is a Competition: Since Alfred is physically unable to participate in the relay race in Day 13, he is tasked with redecorating the band room with the help of the eliminated contestants. The other active contestants then rate him from 0 to 4, and the sum becomes his score. Corbin and Cedric give him low scores not because they didn't like his work, but to hinder his progress in the competition.
