You don't have to shine to have youth.

The a cappella club is filled with unique individuals—some might say they're a bit odd. Even if they're not flashy or popular, there's a special kind of youth that connects through their voices, creating something truly unique.

As fate would have it, she ends up being surrounded by people with an interest in the high school brass band.
