To tuck you off of junior pros, it's always been my life for the past 19 years, especially with Richard Sexton, Clark Sexton, and getting me into the program. I've always loved the people. And this center, this Mack Art Center has always been a home to me for everyone. Everybody that's come here and played junior pros, it's like a dream for them. And I've always loved it. And me getting to play drums for a bunch of different people, not only just the group that you're seeing right now, but several groups in the past, and getting to learn and grow from each one of each other, it's been a dream. And I'm so thankful to receive this scholarship. The Billy Jean Osborne Memorial Scholarship is awarded to a deserving student who has demonstrated outstanding musicianship, leadership, and community service. It honors the legacy of Billy Jean Osborne, a talented musician and educator who was instrumental in promoting the arts in eastern Kentucky. It helps out with any of the junior pros or anybody that's music-related to help pay for college, which in and of, I'm going to be going to Belmont University, which is home for many, a couple of junior pro members such as Kobe O'Brien, Emma Claire Sloan, Tate Hicks, and a few others. And it has been a dream. I've always wanted to go to Belmont University. The first time I stepped on that campus for a summer camp back in 2021. With the passion for music that knows no bounds, Clark will utilize this scholarship to further his education at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. Already accepted into the university's renowned program, Judd will pursue a bachelor's degree in commercial music. Yeah, I grew up in a small town in Freshberg, Kentucky. It is a big, dramatic change because we just have a couple of venues here that offer music opportunities and then be going down to Nashville. There's endless opportunities for going down there. I just can't wait to get down there with some of the former junior pros and maybe we can work something out. Maybe we can create a band. Clark is grateful for the opportunity to pursue his dreams and is excited to see where his music career takes him. When I was 6 or 7, I remember me in car rides with my mom and dad to the ready on my lap and on my arms and everywhere you could think of and just enjoying that and playing on that guitar hero set when I was 6 or 7 and me playing was just something else to see. I'm so glad I got to start it on that because it just progressed me through the years and I'm just glad to be where I wanted to be. The Billie Jean Osborne Memorial Scholarship has not only opened doors for his future but also serves as a reminder of the rich musical heritage in eastern Kentucky.
