After further review by the Canterlot Board of Education, it has been confirmed that:



1. Trixie Lulamoon pulled the lever to allow her band (Trixie and the Illusions) to participate in the finals instead of the Rainbooms, which had initially won their battle.

2. Adagio Dazzle and her band, The Dazzlings, utilized their pendants as autotune devices to help them gain their popularity with the students.



We admit that the Illusions and the Dazzlings used these tactics to get them to participate in the final round of this competition. However, both of these tactics were used by these bands, giving the other competitors an unfair disadvantage. The two bands have been deemed responsible for their actions during the competition, which are violations of the competition's rules. As a result of their actions:



1. The Board of Education has declared the final battle between the Illusions and the Dazzlings null and void. The Rainbooms have been awarded the victory in the competition by default, as they were the only band that were actually participating.

2. Trixie Lulamoon, Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze, and Sonata dusk have been suspended from Canterlot High School for five days.
