The night started \u00a0out slow, will schools from across the country going on stage and rehearsing their songs.\u00a0 It was oddly quiet due to the use of Sign Language over English, making a very surreal scene as the only sound heard was a piano being played backstage. Students\u00a0felt the competition bubbling up, which only fed nervous ticks.<\/p>\n

Cayton and Hummel \u00a0started the night with a touching tribute by having\u00a0 students perform \u201c<\/span><\/span><\/span>Colors\u201d to the audience and received a certificate of achievement. The night continued with many great performances, including small groups, duets, large groups, and solos.<\/p>\n
