CB Southside is unique not just for its sound, but because it's completely student led and directed.

While Central Bucks South Choir Director Joseph Stellino said he helps facilitate, the students do everything from conducting their own auditions to picking their own soloists.

"These are my top singers. This group gives them an extra level to go above and beyond. That's what makes them special," said Stellino.
