Hey folks,
Just wanted to let you know how my bout with the competition world went. After not doing any competition since 1989, I sang for the Texoma NATS Singer of the Year contest. I made it through the finals, and managed to be selected for second place. The other singers were outstanding, and I was thrilled to be on the same stage with them.
I must admit, my nervousness reached a new level that I haven't experienced in a long time. I have performed quite a bit, but somehow singing for a panel of judges (and in front of NATS members!) was extremely disconcerting. I really felt out of my element, and was quite happy with the results.
For those of you who are in Texas, who fit the age requirements, have a teacher in NATS, or are a member themselves, let me encourage you to participate in this contest. Next year, they are doubling the winning prize to $1000. Second place will be $600, and third $400. More information can be found on the Texoma NATS website.
Thank you for your encouragement!
David Grogan
