• Carmen Diaz (Annatasha Saifol): A sexy, confident but cocky dancer with a big ego. Carmen is determined to make it big and is obsessed with (instant) fame; she believes she has what it takes to achieve this. She has returned romantic feelings for Schlomo.

• Iris Kelly (Ellya Sam): A very talented and graceful ballet dancer who is believed to be extremely wealthy although it's not as it seems. Iris is insecure with herself and cares about what people think about her. She shares a love-hate relationship with Tyrone.

The Musicians:
• Schlomo Metzenbaum; Piano (Michael Chang): A shy classical pianist in a rock band he sets up. Schlomo comes from a musical background and his father is a famous violinist. Schlomo is fed up from the strain of being expected to do well and wishes to rebel. He and Carmen develop feelings for one another.

• Grace 'Lambchops' Lamb; Drums (Fara Adnin Faidzan): A loud, confrontational rock chick and tomboy who plays the drums for Schlomo's band. She often loses her temper and at times doesn't take school seriously.

• Goodman 'Goody' King; Sax (Bernard Sam): A saxophone musician who is in Schlomo's band. Sarcastic and amiable, he's Schlomo's right hand man. He starts off initially as a sexist, but that changes throughout the course of his high school life.
