00:00Who could do that for me?
00:04Mac, come on, you can have a crack.
00:06Where the wildflowers bloom
00:10After days of rain
00:14And the watch-tailed eagle flies
00:23We don't really have music and opportunities for singing.
00:26The only singing I've ever done is with games for Wii's or Xboxes.
00:31There's not much out here for the kids in the bush.
00:38It's having the opportunity to do it.
00:41It's meeting people that say,
00:43You're good at that.
00:48Yes. Yes.
00:49Hold on.
00:50Pick me. OMG.
00:51We were shaking and we were holding each other's hands
00:54And dying to make it through.
00:58I'm not going to be a footy bow.
01:00I want to be a singer.
01:01I want to start dancing and singing and acting.
01:04I would love to perform my own music and ride it.
01:07It would be really cool.
01:10The best way to get them up to the standard as fast as possible
01:13Is to create a very healthy competition.
01:16He was the biggest frog in the whole wide world.
01:21Yeah, I think I've got the solo.
01:23He wants it really bad.
01:24It's always about solos for boys for the rest of their life, I believe.
01:28That woman would make a dead sick scene.
01:31That was good.
01:33Come on. Give me some energy. Come on.
01:35She wants you to do something. She pushes you and pushes you.
01:38I'm scared. I'm scared my choir doesn't know what they're doing.
01:41It's gotten higher and higher and harder and harder.
01:43It's early. Fix it.
01:46What I'm asking them to do is way beyond what anyone in any aspect of their life demands of them.
01:54Singing with the musicians gets really tricky.
01:57It's about teaching them the skills required to perform.
02:02And you hope that they will climb to the next level.
02:05It's an enormous leap of faith. Don't let me down.
02:10I'm not sure if I'm going to make or break it.
02:12Oh, it's not just a choir.
02:14We're saying life is full of possibility.
02:17Go. Go, take it.
02:20Like the Batman sets the fire for life.
02:23Where are you?
