Concert at School

Tell me - how are students supposed to study and learn when the school hosts concerts during the school day?  Yesterday afternoon, right after lunch break, a famous Thai popstar came to perform on the huge stage right outside Building 4.  I was trying to give a speaking test on the top floor of Building 4.  Students were to present in their groups (2-3 students) about a travel holiday story.  It was a good class, but the distraction was just too much.  We could barely hear the presentations, even though I brought a microphone to class.  And in the middle of the presentations, students started dancing and singing when a new song came on.  Not to mention that half the class was watching the concert at the beginning of my class.  I went and got a Thai teacher, who found the students at the concert and sent them back to class. 

The concert ended right before last period.  Could it not have been held during lunch hours?  After school?  Very frustrating.
