Judi is currently accepting registrations for the 2012 talent contest which will begin at 8:45 p.m. Thursday, July 19; however, there are a very limited number of positions left. Judi will have a waiting list if anyone drops out. Contact Judi by calling 417-876-2691.

Auditions are not needed; however, advance registration is required. It is necessary to have each contestant name (first and last), age(s), what the talent is, name of music or song and a contact telephone number. Songs will not be repeated, so you must register your song. If you change your song, you must contact Judi to make sure that the song is not already spoken for. There is an answering machine if Judi is unavailable when you call. Your call will be returned to confirm your registration.

You must provide your own accompaniment, and props, however due to time constraints, no bands will be permitted in the contest.

An entrant’s list will be posted near the bandstand by 3 p.m. on the day of the contest, Thursday, July 19. Any program over three minutes will have a point deduction. You may enter the contest one time as an individual, group or act.

The talent contest will be limited to the first 25 contestants who register.
