We do this in a manner that allows members who have careers and families to participate.

• Respect for all our members of the corps (performers, teachers, managers, alumni, volunteers). We appreciate the efforts of all, realizing that each person has much to offer the corps

• Having a place for people of all ages to enjoy the North Star experience. Including working together as a team, socializing, growing as performers, performing and enjoying the gratifying feeling of being in an excellent corps

• Communication within the membership

Our Vision

• To perform in traditional and nontraditional venues

• Create a practice regimen that fits our members lifestyles and gives the flexibility to fit in
