Northport High School Musicians To Perform National Anthems at NFL & MLB Games at MetLife Stadium & Citi Field
There’s nothing quite like the thunderous roar that thousands of clapping hands can create around a massive stadium. The talented Northport High School Tour Choir, Tiger Marching Band, Flagline and Tigerettes, are about to experience this first hand, as they have been selected to perform at MetLife Stadium and Citi Field. Both ensembles will perform the National Anthem at two separate sporting events in the coming weeks.
“I am really excited to return to MetLife Stadium… It was such a rewarding experience. It is a great way to kick off my senior year” – Tess Robinson, Northport High School Senior

Over 110 high school students (in grades 7 through 12) who participated in this year’s high school summer choir clinic are expected to perform.
