The episode begins with band recital for the county fair. Lisa suggests that the band change from "Stars and Stripes Forever" to "Living in America". So, they do so. At the county far, we meet our guest star of the week, the Bachman Turner Overdrive. They perform a song, but have no bearing on the plot. The family prepares to see the Springfield Elementary gang play, and they do very well. Lisa even gets her own sax solo. But, they lose. Why? Ogdenville had glow sticks. Lisa complains that this is illegal, and get's her "Good Sport" trophy revoked.
