Natasha loved to ride. She devoted a lot of time to classes, achieved very good results. At the same time, the girl almost did not rest and was very tired. At the same time, a fascination with music began. Shchelkova especially singled out works of rock direction.
The daughter asked her parents to buy her a guitar. She learned the game herself. In high school, Natalia coped well with a solo instrument. Schelkova's best friend Evgenia Ogurtsova dreamed of creating her own rock band. She invited Natasha to start playing her. Due to the need for rehearsals, I had to stop practicing figure skating.
By August 10, 2005 the team was assembled. In addition to Natasha, the bass player, there were Zhenya Ogurtsova, keyboard player, Anya Rudneva, guitarist, Lera Kozlova, main vocalist and drummer. Lena Tretyakova, who played the electric guitar, joined the team later. The producer of the girls was Sergey Milnichenko.

Natasha was one of the most prominent participants. It was she who started the hall, a bully on the stage. In clothes, the girl preferred black tones, so she turned into the embodiment of the energy of Gothic rock. In addition, of all the girls, Shchelkova was the smallest. The girl became a fan favorite.
Successful start
Soon the idea of a series about the team came up. The telenovela was called, as well as the ensemble. The participants in the new project had a chance to play themselves. The names have been left to them by the former, only the names have changed. The plot was based on the story of five students of the same school, united by music.
According to the script, Natasha’s heroine is brought up by one mother. Father, a rock musician, did not even suspect the existence of an adult daughter for a long time. The series made the group even more recognizable, added fans and listeners. Basically, all compositions are associated with first love.
At the end of August 2008, STS began showing a new show, "Mania Ranetki." The project was associated with the musical creativity of the team. Further, the show was included in the competition "STS lights Superstar." His task was to find a group that would go on tour with Ranetki.
At the beginning of September 2008 the first broadcast of the project took place. The actors of "Kadetstvo" were led by Aristarchus Venes and Kirill Emelyanov. Participated groups playing live musical instruments. Every week there were concerts with the performance of compositions on given topics. After the speeches, the jury commented on what they saw.
According to the selection conditions, judges selected three outsiders. Some candidates were saved by “Ranetki” in the studio, others could be helped by spectators during the week by voting, the third group left the project. The jury represented criticism in the face of the masters of cinema and music and defense in the face of "Ranetok" and their producer.
The parting of the participants turned into a real tragedy for the fans. The first solo career was decided by the blonde vocalist Lera to start. Many are used to it. To save the team invited a new soloist. However, fans demanded the return of Valeria, explaining that the “Ranetki” without her are not the same as before. The former popularity began to decline, and the ensemble ceased to exist.
