St. Louis Area Chinese Karaoke Competition people singing into microphones

Crossroads College Preparatory School was proud to host the 2023 St. Louis Area Chinese Karaoke Competition!

Students of Mandarin Chinese across the St. Louis Area are invited to participate by learning to sing a Chinese song and creating a music video of their vocal performance.
