Auditions Announced for Santa Maria Has Talent 2012
All performers in the Santa Maria Valley get ready to compete for cash awards, trophies and the $1,000 first prize at Santa Maria Has Talent 2012.
Open auditions for contestants will begin at 4 p.m. on Saturday, February 4, 2012, at the Orcutt Presbyterian Church, 993 Patterson Rd., in Santa Maria. Performers unable to audition for work reasons may call 805-937-8910 for appointments or e-mail santamariatalent@live.com.
This regional contest invites contestants from Orcutt, Santa Maria, Nipomo, Guadalupe, Vandenberg, Vandenberg Village and Los Alamos. Contestants who lives elsewhere but work in one of these towns are also welcome.
At auditions, a sound system will be available for cd, i-pod and cell phone accompaniment. A piano is also available for live accompaniment.
“We are looking for singers, dancers, instrumentalists, actors, groups and ensembles of all ages,” said Diane Balay, director of Santa Maria Has Talent. “Unfortunately, we can’t use bands due to set up time. In addition, the comedian category has been eliminated.
“Contestants are asked to remember that Santa Maria Has Talent is a family event and lyrics should be appropriate for all ages,” Balay said.
The popular competition, sponsored by Santa Maria Rotary South, will be held at 7:00 p.m. March 8, 9 and 10, 2012, at the Santa Maria Vet’s Hall. All proceeds will go to Rotary charitable projects.
