Pittsburgh Brashear was the setting for a new reality television show this past week, and filming wrapped up with a concert Sunday night.

For the past week, USA Networks filmed part of a reality television show at Pittsburgh Brashear High School. The new series focuses on starting choirs, and filming wrapped on Sunday with a concert. For more information about the series, check out this article. The concert showcased a newly-formed show choir, featuring Brashear students and a talent they only recently discovered they had. “There’s a …

But it also was about more than the case itself. Students on Friday said the principle of the case is that nobody deserves to have their life taken away, and they wanted to support a teen their own age who met an unfair and early end. “I get angered,” said senior Chrisarah Johnson, 18. “Some people are looking at this as just a race issue and it’s more than that. It’s about a young man, 17, being killed.” …
