LOS ANGELES (NBC Latino) - Students at Los Angeles' Belmont High School are leading a melodic uprising.

For the first time in 80 years, the students at Belmont High have no school-funded band, choir, or music program.

"Students came to me and they said they wanted to start a music club," says teacher Brian Montes.

And they did.

With the help of Mr. Montes, a science teacher with a music background who took on the project as a labor of love.  

With in weeks of putting flyers across the school that read 'Do You Love To Sing,' the school held after school auditions, and the real-life glee club was formed.
