Their voices didn’t just blend — they soared. Layered harmonies wrapped around each line with aching precision. Amanda’s smile trembled. By the second verse, her eyes were glassy. By the final crescendo, she was in tears.

When the last note fell, the theater didn’t erupt — it held its breath. For a moment, no one moved. Then… the standing ovation.
Amanda wiped away a tear.
