Chicagoland
Ambassadors is a
competitive high school show choir program comprised
of students across the
greater Chicago area.
The Chicagoland Ambassadors
provides an unparalleled
opportunity for students in
grades 9 - 12 to share their
talent with others, from
many schools and
communities, who LOVE TO
SING AND DANCE!
We'll post the upcoming
season's audition schedule
in the Spring.
