Northstar Chorus Annual Show, 2000
Story Synopsis: This is not something an airline public relations officer would have in mind, but then nothing is sacred in an industry that is so much in the public eye. The basic story revolves around the Northstar Chorus and quartets returning from competition via a chartered flight, only to be grounded in an out-of-the-way airport where they will have to spend the Thanksgiving holiday away from their families.
