A nerdy high school jazz band embarks on a journey to California for an international band competition. Their bus breaks down and they are forced to stay at a motel overnight. Trying to copy cool kids, they have an orgy and get into all kinds of mischief…

Composer Navid Hejazi Note:
'The main characters are members of a jazz band, so some tracks had to combine jazz and funk style. As for Morgan’s character, his thematic material had to do with the “Intergalactic Friendship Alliance” story and the “Pearl”.
This required to be purely orchestral based in an old school way. “Sneaking Out” and “The Fight” have an intense orchestral marching tone related to Morgan and Jason’s “mission”. On “Yvette At The Jacuzzi”, Yvette is treated as a “siren” in Morgan’s magical fantasy world.
Maddy’s theme is a simple piano solo tune that plays as her own composition and is used as source music along the movie. On the sad moments of her story the piano is used playing a small motif. Mr T’s theme has a different style approach, using more electronics and an electric bass, and a french horn solo for more positive moments in the story.
On the other hand, Stephanie’s theme is more optimistic, acoustic guitar and strings based. “The RV” track is a highly energetic piece that was treated almost as a pirate ship boarding scene as the crew restarts their crazy trip to the dance.' (Plaza Mayor Company Ltd)
