TALENT SEARCH 2022 INFORMATION:
Open to individuals, duos or small groups (vocalists or instrumentalists) who will perform with their own accompaniment or with our house band.
Full bands cannot be accepted due to time and space. Individuals who have performed on a regular show (not a talent search) are not eligible.
Please send your name, email address, and phone number to Lynda Smith at vaopry@gmail.com,
along with two country songs for the Opry to choose from for the performance, in order of your preference.
One song will be chosen by the Opry for the performance on September 17th.
We will do our best to accommodate your first choice. The deadline for signing up is August 29th.
Accepted applicants will rehearse with the band (should you choose that option)
or get a sound check with your instrument on the Thursday night prior to the performance.
A group of three judges not associated with the Donk’s band or cast will choose
the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners for the Talent Search. The first place winner will receive a trophy, $100
and an opportunity to perform with the Opry on an upcoming show.
Second and third places will receive $50 each.
The Opry reserves the right to ask any performer on the show back to perform with the Opry at any time.
The Opry also reserves the right to refuse any performer/performance it deems unsuitable for its audience.
