Some of the many common plots include individuals or bands trying to make it big in a competitive and sometimes hostile music industry, music teachers trying to make a difference in the lives of their students either in an established music group that has declined or by creating a new music group, fictionalized biopics about historic [[Real Life]] musicians and composers, and kids (often troubled) pursuing their musical dreams by joining school choir or band, and then trying to balance their musical training with their academics and personal life. Sometimes the existence of the music group might be threatened with a funding cut that would destroy it, and the musical group must revitalize and revamp itself in order to impress the powers that be with their newfound talent and popularity to retain their funding source. Other times the music group might be raising money for a charity outside of itself.
Unlike [[The Musical]], dialog and exposition is not told primarily through song, and characters mostly confine their music to performances and practicing rather than, say, spontaneously breaking out into an elaborate choreographed song and dance number during their high school lunch break.
