Depiction in the series

The Pony Tones are a singing ensemble of ponies who perform for various social events and charities in Ponyville. When first introduced, they are to perform for a fundraiser that Fluttershy organizes for the Ponyville Pet Center. However, prior to the fundraiser's scheduled time, Big McIntosh loses his voice during a turkey call competition. Using a potion that Zecora brews from poison joke leaves to deepen her voice, Fluttershy sings for Big Mac behind a curtain (suffering from stage fright) while Big Mac lip-syncs.

As a result of their performance at the fundraiser, the Pony Tones are approached to give additional performances at Zipporwhill's cute-ceañera, a ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by Mayor Mare, the Day Spa, and Cheerilee's class of school foals in the Ponyville Schoolhouse. With each performance given, Fluttershy's confidence in herself rises, but she also starts improvising her part, making it difficult for Big Mac to keep up with her. For their next performance at Sugarcube Corner, Big Mac recovers his voice, but agrees to let Fluttershy sing for him one last time. However, Fluttershy gets carried away and exposes herself; despite her embarrassment, her performance is praised.

Toward the end of the episode, Fluttershy joins the Pony Tones as a part-time fifth member, privately performing at her cottage for her pony and critter friends. However, she declines making public appearances with the band, citing the "baby steps" she is taking to overcome her stage fright.

The Pony Tones get mentioned by Rarity and they appear in a poster in a flashback of Filli Vanili in Memnagerie, during the part when Rarity offers Fluttershy a spot but she declines due to her stage fright.
