Despite the school having no choral music tradition, he receives 161 applicants - 117 girls and 44 boys - from the approximately 1,300 member student body. He needs not only to find the 30 best singers, but sufficient numbers for each of the four parts, which becomes an issue especially for the bass clef voices as few of those boys applying have had their voice change. During the audition process, he discovers that many have beautiful voices, but at this stage of their vocal history are purely trying to mimic popular music singers and their songs, especially in the R&B genre. Before he announces the 30, he must check the status of a few which may dismiss them from the choir. After announcing the 30 members, who collectively are now called the Phoenix Choir, Gareth has a deadline in four week's time (seven rehearsals): record a submission CD to the World Choir Games selection committee. He has to get the choir to a point where the submission will impress him and the selection committee enough to be chosen to attend the competition in China seven months later. Beyond issues with learning the music, Gareth has problems with one perpetually absent choir member, and a brother and sister dealing with a family issue. To get the choir inspired and as a bonding exercise, Gareth takes them on a field trip to the Barbican Theatre in London to experience what it's like to stand on an auditorium stage to perform, and so that they can all spend some quality time getting to know each other.
