As the chair of the entertainment committee for Leland College's 10th reunion, Alex is determined to make a splash by securing top-notch bands that will impress alumni from the music industry. After some convincing, Jennifer persuades a hesitant Alex to allow her new all-girl band, The Permanent Waves, to audition.
