Auditions Scheduled for Park County Idol Contest

United Methodist Church in Cody, WY

Think you have what it takes to become Park County’s favorite singer? Then warm up those vocal chords and get ready to sing!

Yellowstone Harmony Chorus, a chapter of Sweet Adelines International, is holding their second Park County Idol contest in conjunction with their annual show. The ladies of the chorus want to feature some of the best singers in our region during their show “The Young and The Rest of Us” on Saturday, November 13, 2010 at the Wynona Thompson Auditorium in Cody, WY.

This is the second year for the Park County Idol contest. The first one was held in May of 2009 during the chorus’s show “Brother Can You Spare A Dime”. Addison Hebbler, with her beautiful rendition of “Concrete Angel”, was voted Park County Idol. Kirianne Palmer came in second, Victoria Gwynn third and Jordan Lidstrom fourth. These young women and all the singers who auditioned for the 2009 contest are invited to audition for the 2nd annual (it’s popular!) contest.

The contest is open to male and female singers of all vocal art forms. To qualify, you must be a minimum of 12 years of age. There is no upper age limit. This contest is for amateur singers who must represent that they are not in a recording or performing contract. Singers can perform as soloists, duets, trios and quartets. This contest is not affiliated with American Idol.

The call for auditions is scheduled for Saturday, September 25, at the United Methodist Church in Cody, WY. All singers are to be at the church by 9:00 am. Judges will select four finalists on this day. Contest audition instructions can be found on the chorus’s website at www.yellowstoneharmony.com.

The four finalists will then perform during Yellowstone Harmony’s show “The Young and The Rest of Us” Saturday, November 13. The winner will be determined by audience vote and will be announced at the end of the show. First place receives $200.00. Additional cash prizes of $100.00, $75.00 and $50.00 will go to 2nd, 3rd, and 4th places respectively.

You Can’t Take it with You

Robert A. Peck Arts Center Theatre, Central Wyoming College, Riverton

In 1937, You Can't Take it With You won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. In 1938, Frank Capra made it into a movie which won the Academy Award for Best Picture. And today it remains one of the most successful American comedies of all time. It is the story of the very eccentric Sycamore family. Everyone who meets them thinks they’re crazy, but it’s really the rest of the world that’s crazy. For the Sycamores know what others don’t: you can’t take it with you.

Performances are November 17-20 at 7:30 p.m. and November 21 at 2:30 p.m.

For more information contact Alec Henderson, House Manager at (307) 855-2222 or 800-865-0190
