The Northridge High School Northern Lights and Starlights show choirs performed this week for our elementary schools. The performances by these state championship choirs gave our younger students the opportunity to experience a show choir performance and helped them dream big about working hard and succeeding! Come out this Thursday, March 23rd to the NHS Auditorium at 7:00 to hear these choirs, along with the NMS Knight Lights. The performance is free to the community(donations accepted).
