-A panoramic of [[Springfield]] is shown, with a billboard saying ''Welcome to Springfield. Come for {{ap|Whacking Day|holiday}}, stay for the snake chowder'' and a text engraved in the corn field next to [[Cletus's farm]] saying ''Corn likker sold here'', before zooming in the [[Springfield Academy of Music]], where the class of 1999 are graduating. [[Dewey Largo]] is one of the winners of the Golden Baton Award, but [[Gustavo Dudamel]], the other winner, strangles him in dark energy after the university president says to him he's going to be just a school teacher.
+A panoramic view of [[Springfield]] is shown, with a billboard reading ''Welcome to Springfield. Come for {{ap|Whacking Day|holiday}}, stay for the snake chowder'' and a message carved into the cornfield near [[Cletus's farm]] that says ''Corn likker sold here''. The shot zooms in on the [[Springfield Academy of Music]], where the class of 1999 is graduating. [[Dewey Largo]] is one of the recipients of the Golden Baton Award, but when the university president tells [[Gustavo Dudamel]], the other recipient, that he'll only become a school teacher, Dudamel strangles Largo with dark energy.
-Largo then wakes up from the nightmare next to his partner. After seeing [[Jimbo]], [[Kearney]] and [[Dolph]] uncover a manhole, from which [[Sideshow Bob]] escapes, his everyday morning with his partner and dog is shown. At [[Springfield Elementary School|School]], Largo is teaching music, when he receives an email from [[Victor Kleskow]], the musical director of the [[Capital City]] Philarmonic, saying he'll be attending his concert the next night, so he starts training them with {{W|The Stars and Stripes Forever}}.
+Largo then wakes up from the nightmare next to his partner. After seeing [[Jimbo]], [[Kearney]], and [[Dolph]] uncover a manhole—allowing [[Sideshow Bob]] to escape—his usual morning routine with his partner and dog is shown. At [[Springfield Elementary School]], Largo is teaching music when he receives an email from [[Victor Kleskow]], the musical director of the [[Capital City]] Philharmonic, informing him that he will be attending Largo's concert the following night. Largo begins rehearsing with the students, using {{W|The Stars and Stripes Forever}}.
-The concert is a success, but Largo is sad when Victor chooses [[Lisa]] as the talent to take with him. [[Homer]] and [[Marge]] struggles to find a way to make it work in bed, and Homer proposes to sell his boxset of ''[[Breaking Bad]]'' too. Once they arrive at [[Capital City]], Lisa finds how hard it is with Victor when she sees the states the kids are in and how just one mistakes make him angry.
+The concert is a success, but Largo is disappointed when Victor selects [[Lisa]] as the talent to take with him. [[Homer]] and [[Marge]] struggle to find a way to make it work financially, with Homer even offering to sell his ''[[Breaking Bad]]'' box set. When they arrive in [[Capital City]], Lisa quickly realizes how intense Victor is when she sees the poor condition of the other students and his explosive anger over even minor mistakes.
-To pay for it, Homer starts working the night shift too, while Bart is confined in a closet with the siblings of the musicians, and Lisa wins the 1st chair for sax in a competition with another kid, but she finds out how selfish she's become on this, disregarding her family.
+To cover the costs, Homer starts working a night shift. [[Bart]] is confined to a closet with the siblings of the other musicians. Lisa wins first chair for saxophone in a competition against another student but begins to recognize how selfish she's become in pursuing this path at the expense of her family.
-Victor proposes to Lisa to advance to the next class, 9 to 14, which costs more and is farther away. Homer starts hallucinating during his shift too, dancing and drinking with the bartender {{ap|Lloyd|Girl's in the Band}}. To avoid more problems, Homer disregards [[Maggie]]'s talents, while Lisa instead fails on purpose, killing her career to save the family. In the end, Largo and his boyfriend arrive at home, with him kicking his love out, but when he agrees on the name of the dog, all is solved.
+Victor offers Lisa a chance to advance to the next level, for ages 9 to 14, which is more expensive and located farther away. During his shift, Homer starts hallucinating, dancing and drinking with the bartender {{ap|Lloyd|Girl's in the Band}}. To avoid more financial pressure, Homer dismisses [[Maggie]]'s musical talents, while Lisa intentionally fails her audition, sacrificing her future to preserve the family's well-being.
