Drumheller has some hidden talent, and they are about to show themselves on stage in front of a panel of judges tonight (Friday).
The second edition of Drumheller’s Got Talent takes place tonight in the gym of the Elim Pentecostal Church, home of the Drumheller Youth Centre.
The finalists for the event include: Anjo Escher, Brooklyn Acorn, Justin Herman, Paul Epp, Rachel Graf, Rebecca Graf, duet Emily and Erin Bertsch, Ashton Lal, Bailey Cauldron and Brooklyn LeGresley.
The event is being organized by those on the committee for the Drumheller Youth Centre.
Eric Neuman, one of the organizers, said the event is, “a talent show that is for recordable talent. It could be a singer, could be a duet or you can play an instrument.”
For those participants who end up lucky enough to place first, second or third in the competition they will be winning some great prizes.
Third place will receive $200 cash, second will receive $400 and first place will receive the opportunity to record three songs, one of which will be played on 99.5 Drum FM.
This year, organizers have decided to include something similar to the real competition. During the event, a phone number will be announced and each participant will be given a number. Those in the audience will be able to text in their favourite performance and the winner of the fan favourite will receive a gift certificate to a local business.
Those in attendance will also be in for a musical treat. Last year’s winner Abby Fooks will also be performing at the show.
The doors will open at 6:30 tonight and the show will begin at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at the door in single admission and a family pass.
