 Billie Jean Osborne's Kentucky Junior Pros are now holding free audition bootcamps leading up to the Kentucky Junior Pro's auditions January 20th and 21st. The bootcamps are free to attend and will be held the 9th and 16th from 5 to 8 p.m. We started bootcamp last night and we're going to have bootcamps every Tuesday night up until the auditions happen. And so what we do with these bootcamps is we try to help the kids get de-stressed basically. They get rid of the anxiety, help them get prepared and know what's going to happen because those things are tough. I mean there's four of us that are sitting as a panel and so we're all sitting up there and these kids are walking in and exposing themselves with the arts and it can be very nerve-wracking. So these bootcamps are designed to help them and also to help us get to know the kids a little bit better and know what we've got coming to auditions too. Appalachian Wireless just can't stop themselves. Get the iPhone 13 128 gig for a penny with a two-year contract on the Mix and Match or Unlimited Plan. New or renewed line, while supplies last. One penny for an iPhone 13. We are you. We are Appalachian Wireless. To schedule an audition for the Kentucky Junior Pro's call 1-88-MAC-ARTS. Vocalists will need to provide karaoke versions of their audition material. We want these kids to feel free to create. This is not school and nothing wrong with school classroom but we're trying to teach these kids more of an approach that we want to hear. Do you write a song? We want to hear it. Do you think that you could sing back up on that song? Teddy assigns those parts but you think you could do it? Let's try it. Or a singer may say, well, I think I can hit this part. Can I try it? Absolutely try it. Musicians, hey, I want to try this, Lick. I want to try that. So they know that they can feel free to create and that's what we're trying to open their minds.
