The Billie Jean Osborne's Kentucky Opry Junior Pros To Hold Open Auditions

The Billie Jean Osborne's Kentucky Opry Junior Pros To Hold Open Auditions

The Kentucky Opry will hold open auditions for all Junior Pro positions on Saturday, March 3, 2012 from 10am to 4pm at the Mountain Arts Center in Prestonsburg, KY.  Auditions are open for performers both vocalists and instrumentalists between the ages of 6 and 16.  Auditions will be by pre-scheduled appointment times only.  

Vocalists should come prepared to sing a verse and chorus of "My Old Kentucky Home," as well as one other prepared piece that is age appropriate.  Vocalists will have the option of singing with an accompaniment CD or karaoke CD (meaning there will be no vocals on the CD).  Vocalists who can sing both lead and harmony vocals are particularly desired.  

Instrumentalists will be asked to perform two selections of their own choosing, which they feel best demonstrates their musical ability.  Because of the musical variety format of this group, we are specifically looking for instrumentalists who can play one or more of the following: drums, bass, guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, or piano as well as be able to sing either lead and/or harmony vocals.  

For scheduling an audition  time or for additional information regarding auditions, please contact Khrys Varney, Arts Education Director for the Mountain Arts Center at (606) 889-9125.
