Last Monday, the scholars were tasked to do a mini-concert to be held Wednesday. The scholars chose IƱaki as the director considering that he had done various theater works as part of the theater group called Trumpets. They had prepared hard, re-practicing their past gala pieces that they chose to perform for the said concert, doing everything from the props to the stage design. They were so excited especially after knowing that the bigwigs from the music industry were going to be their audience. It was their chance to showcase their talents! Even Ai-ai Delas Alas went to the academy to give them tips and advices on what to do during live performances and how to cope up with glitches.
Little did they know that the concert was to test their presence of mind, because the glitches that were to happen were scripted. And to top it all, the audience who they thought were bigwigs were actually not real but mere actors pretending to be bigwigs.
All sorts of bad things happened during the concert, from the minus-one not playing on cue, to the microphones turning their voices into chipmunk-y sound. But the scholars surpassed it all because towards the middle of the concert, they actually realized that it was just a test and the glitches were staged.
