Matthew Langenderfer, also known as Derf, performs in the second BlueDesk Concert to a massive crowd of fans. The lights go out, and he begins "Moonlight Sonata" surrounded by candles and his onlookers. After this unforgettable masterpiece, he begins "Vienna" to mass appeal of the mob. He then takes questions (and some heckling) before wrapping up with the reveal of the next Blueprint issue and the Alma Mater that could be heard from across the building.

Trivia
The concert took place at 11:30 AM during Flex on March 27th, 2024.
As seen in the video, there is an article in issue 5 of the Blueprint about this concert written by Daniel Rahn and Grayson Beckham simply titled BlueDesk II.
The St. X media team came to the event and got some photos. They also put the event on the school's Instagram account.
The video was planned to be posted on March 27th but was delayed to the next morning due to upload issues. It released at 10AM, at the start of E Bell.
In the video, Phillip Bottomley is accidentally credited as "Phillip Bottomly."
