Northstar Chorus Annual Show, 1999 Fall

Story Synopsis:   This is not what Charles Dickens had in mind, but then Scrooge never looked like this either.  The challenge is for Jacob Farley, the old high school chorus director, to bring music into the heart of his least-gifted student before he (Farley) can enter the pearly gates.  Why the spirits moved him to use the Northstar Chorus and quartets, we can only guess.  But, in the spirit of the upcoming season, we hope to present the least-gifted with the joy of music, and bring you a smile or two at the same time.
