Judi is still accepting registrations for the 2017 talent contest which will begin at 8:30 Thursday. July 20; however, there is a very limited number of positions left. Judi will have a short 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 and if you decide to 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 or drums 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 20. Any program over three minutes will have a point deduction. You may enter the contest one time as an individual, group or act.
