00:02Striking the right note, more than a thousand students from more than 60 public schools
00:11across the ACT are taking part in this year's Step Into The Limelight School Spectacular.
00:17We're all a part of the team of featured vocalists, we go on stage in all our different costumes
00:22and we sing a lot of the main lines and a bunch of harmonies.
00:25We kind of rehearse an hour each week, hour and a half each week, developing the act, refining the act.
00:31Running since 2007, the event has become the Territory's biggest performing arts event for public schools.
00:38Seeing them be part of something that they could never have done on their own is really exciting.
00:45The Spectacular's artistic director says this year's theme, Breakthrough, is teaching students a valuable lesson.
00:51Breaking through obstacles and challenges in life, technological breakthroughs, breakdown stereotypes as well.
00:58After months of rehearsals, tonight the students will take to the stage at the AIS Arena for their final performance.
01:06I'm very excited, just waiting to hop on that stage and just shine.
01:10I am so ready to perform alongside these guys and all the other students tonight, it's going to be awesome.
01:17Counting down the minutes until they step into the limelight.
01:22We all need somebody to lean on.
