North Hills Senior High School choirs will hold their second annual Cabaret Night fundraising event in the senior high cafeteria at 7 p.m. Friday, March 1. The evening, sponsored by the Choral Parents Association, features solos, duets and small groups in an informal setting. The cafeteria will be transformed into a coffee shop/jazz club in with an “open mic night” feel. Song selections are of the students’ choosing and come mostly from Broadway and modern/pop genres. 

Admission is $5 and includes refreshments provided by the choir families. All proceeds from Cabaret Night will go toward the Symphonic and Women’s Choirs’ upcoming trip to compete in the Music in the Parks festival at Kings Island in Cincinnati, Ohio.
