In episode one, principal David Benson invites Gareth to spend the summer term in KAA's temporary home – a collection of swiftly assembled portacabins a mile away. David hopes the school will return to their original site in September and wants to mark the occasion with a concert. KAA specialises in performing arts and David believes passionately in the value of music and singing. He asks Gareth to help the students produce a performance that will celebrate their pride in the community, their happy memories and the courage and resilience they have shown.
