November 23 - it was finally the last day of the competition. The 5th competition was the highest level since the event started. The juries found it very hard to make a decision. Everybody was curious to find out who would win the first prize. The performance was scheduled from 3 P.M. and the awarding ceremony was scheduled from 7 P.M. the same day.
The contestants had dress rehearsals in the morning with the orchestra.
SUDO showed up in a ruby red dress. She wore it for the first time, so she needed to get comfortable walking around in it. While the orchestra members were getting ready, she had some words with the conductor before her performance.
