Overview
Ally accidentally gives away all of the instruments in the Sonic Boom so Ally, Austin, Trish and Dez decide to host a fundraiser in order to get the money needed to buy the instruments back. However, when Austin gets grounded for bad grades, the gang is left needing a backup plan.
Episode Summary
When Nelson and his music class come into Sonic Boom, he reveals to the gang that they lost all their instruments in a flood, which Mrs. Ingram, his music teacher, backs up. Ally asks her father, Lester, if they can donate some instruments to the school program, but he says no since there is no profit. After seeing how crushed the music program is by the news, Ally decides to let them borrow the instruments; unfortunately, Nelson misinterprets her statement as her giving all the instruments away. The store is left with no instruments.
To stock the store up before her dad returns, the four decide to host a fundraiser to buy the instruments back. Unfortunately, Austin gets yet another bad grade, which leads to his parents grounding him. After seeing how pathetic the fundraiser is without him, Austin sneaks out to perform at the fundraiser to not let Ally down. He is almost caught by his parents -- the second time indirectly; Trish tells Lester that Mike Moon and Mimi Moon hate him to spare Austin -- and even after getting back into the house before his parents, the fan alert rats him out. He is grounded again.
Ally is also grounded when Lester discovers the missing instruments.
