The Premier Arts Ambassa- dors are an elite group of talented teens in the Elkhart area focused on bettering themselves and the community and inspiring others to achieve their goals. Though young in age, the Ambassadors seek to develop their performance skills and demonstrate the power of youth, while encouraging all to “play a part.” The Ambassadors are a team of auditioned young people ages eighth grade through 12th grade. Auditions to join the Ambassa- dors are very involved. They in- clude a personal interview, vocal and dance auditions and a mono- logue reading. Ambassador members learn special medleys and performance that are used for special enter- tainment opportunities within Elkhart and the surrounding $0%$66$'256 )25 35(0,(5$576 ³ Shown are this vannah Griffln, Nick Hardman, Mattie Hockert, Macy McCausland, Sera community.
