The latest news from around North Texas.
Both schools have placed at the national competition in the past, but never won it. This is the 3rd year that both Rockwall County schools made it to the final nine schools.
"We've been 2nd place and we've gotten 4th place and we've gotten very, very, very close," Rockwall High School Head Choir Director Leia Browning said. "So winning would mean the world to these kids."
"It's a pleasure and it's a privilege to be able to come and do this with these people every year," Infiniti vocal percussionist Aiden Bradford said. "I've been doing it for four years now, so I'm lucky!"
The choirs start preparing during the summer. On April 25, at The Town Hall on Broadway in New York City, they will step into the spotlight for the finals.
"So there are some moments in the songs where everything just clicks," Walk the Line soprano 1 Amelia Cook said. "When you get to those moments, you kind of are reminded that this is why you do it."
'Whatever happens when we get there, it's just gonna be left out on the stage," Kima said. "I can't wait for that experience!"
