Murrysville twins set to appear on 'America's Got Talent'

Singing-and-dancing brothers Colton and Trent Edwards from Murrysville will be among the contestants on Tuesday's episode of the popular reality show “America's Got Talent.” The program airs at 8 p.m. on NBC.

Appearing as “Mirror Image,” the twins, 16, will be juniors at Franklin Regional High School. They reside with their parents, Kevin and Gia.

The boys have been jointly expressing their talents all their lives, their father said. Posts on their Twitter account for their act show them performing their moves at a function of the New York City Dance Alliance and practicing during a visit to the beach.

The brothers are students at Appolonia Leake Dance Company in Penn Hills and formerly attended DeStella Dance Centre in Export.

They competed at recent dance conventions in Pittsburgh. According to their mother, they placed third with their duet at an NYCDA event and each placed with a solo performance at a NUVO convention.

At a Velocity convention, each won a Maximum Velocity Artist scholarship, but they were unable to attend that organization's national competition.
