Benji's Complete Pitch Perfect Storyline Explained: from Rejected Hopeful to Treblemakers Hero
By Marcus Vance
Benji’s entrance into the competitive arena during the first film’s climax delivers one of the franchise's most satisfying payoffs. Standing backstage at Lincoln Center, Benji receives his official Treblemaker blazer. He looks down at the fabric with open disbelief.
Onstage during the 2012 ICCA finals performance, Benji does not simply blend into the back row. As the group rolls through their mashup of "Bright Lights Bigger City" and B.o.B's "Magic," Benji commands vocal leads and punctuates the choreography with exuberant showmanship. His presence breathes fresh life into a group that had grown stagnant under Bumper's tyrannical direction.
The performance proved that Benji belonged at the elite competitive level. The Treblemakers take first place, handing Benji a collegiate championship in his very first official stage appearance with the group.
