Staff members rushed them off the bus and ushered them through the hallway to a large waiting area that had seats.
Waiting there was the previous stage director, Sherill Lanole, who had been in charge during the second round.
Sherril was holding a clipboard, and as the 100 boys filed in, she began directing them.
"Teams placed on the first three pyramid levels, please follow the staff member at the door to hair, make-up, and costume stations. Team leaders of every team, please follow me, we need to decide the exact filming order."
Ari immediately followed Sherill, who was walking quickly while doing his best to ignore Ian, who continued smirking at him, and William, whom he hated.
The stage director led them to a room with cameras before turning to them.
"The order priority is given to those who rank higher on the pyramid, so B(1), you have first pick. What order do you want?"
