The School Choir will be supported by the Western Youth Choir which is the largest youth choir in Erongo Region.
The choir is led by Roger Nautoro, Councilor for the Omaruru Municipal Council. The Western Youth Choir has already toured Germany and the Netherlands, and has a repertoire of over 100 songs they have composed and arranged themselves to choose from.
