Medford’s Rising Star October 25
Competition Will Showcase Local Talent
Calling all performers in Medford- the Jingle Bell Festival Committee wants you!
In an effort to raise some money and generate some excitement in the community, the volunteer committee that organizes Medford’s annual winter extravaganza is putting on a talent competition this fall.
Dubbed Medford’s Rising Star, the contest is open only to Medford residents that have extraordinary- and likely unknown- talent. Auditions will take place on September 25, and finalists from three different age groups will be selected to perform in a grand finale on October 25 at Tufts University. A panel of experts will then select the top winner from each age group 6-12-year-olds, 13-17-year-olds, and 18+.
Organizers say “any talent that can be performed on a stage” is welcome. This includes bands, dancers, singers, jugglers, gymnasts, instrumentalists, and comedians, among others.
The winners will receive prizes and the opportunity to perform at several local events. All proceeds benefit the Community Family’s Buddy Coholan Memory Loss Center.
Betsy Pesce, music director at St. Joseph’s in Medford, has once again been invited to form and conduct a community chorus (of folks of any age!) to perform a couple of selections in the show, and we are hoping that many of you will consider joining us!
If you would like to participate, or would like to obtain more information, please contact Betsy at 617-335-8155, or at stjosephmusic@msn.com Let the “star†in you shine!
