Leo High Schools Choir Wowed The Americas Got Talent Judges And Theyre Just Getting Started

The Leo High School Choir, comprising 22 boys from Auburn Gresham, received acclaim from Simon Cowell after their performance on "America's Got Talent. " Their powerful rendition of "Born for This" led to a thumbs-up from the notoriously critical judge. This national spotlight follows their earlier feature on CBS Chicago, which caught the attention of the show's producers. The choir will compete in the quarterfinals in August, with the potential for audience votes to propel them to the finals. Their newfound fame has already resulted in $5,000 donations to each member for educational support.

Choir director LaDonna Hill, who is retiring after 25 years, has played a pivotal role in nurturing the students' confidence and vocal skills. The group has maintained a busy schedule, performing at significant events over the summer. Hill emphasized the importance of discipline, with the choir rehearsing six times a week to hone their craft.
