Improvisational comedians drilled some students during an oral exam; all the students also had to learn Richard Strauss's Also Sprach Zarathustra in three hours, after which they had to perform the song for a panel of state-appointed judges. The students were surprised with a private concert by The All-American Rejects and were each given a backpack filled with OfficeMax merchandise. The chain also granted New Milford High School a $60,000 gift card. The one-hour show aired on August 5, 2007 on The CW Television Network.
