Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Impressed by the trumpet-playing skills of his black friend Josh Foster (now played by James Bond III, replacing Todd Bridges), Jason (Jon Walmsley) suggests that Josh perform at the annual Spring Festival. Unfortunately, racial prejudice rears its ugly head, and it looks as if Josh will never be permitted to show off his talents in public. Elsewhere, Elizabeth (Kami Cotler) and Aimee Godsey (Rachel Longaker) vie for the attentions of Georgie (Steve Shaw), the new boy in class. T.K. Carter appears in this episode as Jody Foster, a role previously played by Erin Blunt.
