Led by choir director Kim Alswager, the Northern Lights Show Choir performs a 20-minute production with dance breaks, costumes, sets and a full band.

Last week, the group took second runner-up as well as Best Choreography at the Eau Claire Memorial Winterfest. And on Saturday, they’ll host around 20 show choirs from across the Midwest at the third annual Rock The North show choir competition at North St. Paul High School. Tickets for Rock The North can be purchased here.

Producer Lindsay Guentzel checked out a rehearsal ahead of the show choir’s competition in Wisconsin.
