The Voice"], Antonio Fernandez [vocal percussion],
Morgan Keene [soprano/"Newsies"],
Shelley Regner [mezzo/"
Pitch Perfect" films], Joe Santoni [bass], and RJ Woessner [tenor], represent a first for Disney, who launched the brand's flagship a cappella experience last
Spring with a TV debut on "American Idol" during "Disney Night," where the group performed classics from "The
