Season 5 of Radio Disney’s multiplatform competition show N.B.T. is already underway and in about a week, it’ll be time to start the voting on the latest set of contestants. The kick-off concert last weekend brought out not only Disney TV stars like Bella Thorne and Zendaya (Shake it Up) and Kelli Berglund and Billy Unger (Lab Rats), but also past N.B.T. artists Shealeigh and Coco Jones, who performed along with this season’s five new contestants and R5. Take a look at this exclusive behind-the-scenes video hosted by Austin & Ally‘s Laura Marano.
