Maryland Senior Idol Competition To Kick Off

Anne Arundel County seniors age 60 and older, who have not sung for a living, are invited to enter the fifth annual Maryland Senior Idol Vocal Competition and Benefit. This event will recognize top senior vocalists in the state.
Auditions for Anne Arundel County vocalists will take place February 18, starting at 12:30pm in the auditorium of the Pascal Senior Activity Center, 125 Dorsey Road, Glen Burnie. Performers should be prepared to sing a song no longer than three minutes and provide their own music. The two winners will represent Anne Arundel County in the state competition to be held on March 30 at the Chesapeake Arts Center in Brooklyn Park. In addition to the March 30 performance, participants must be available to attend a dress rehearsal on March 29. Tickets are $6 at the door for the March 30 competition, with proceeds to benefit the Maryland Food Bank.
First prize is a $250 gift basket and second place is a $150 package. All participants will receive a small gift.
Anne Arundel County vocalists are encouraged to be members of an Anne Arundel County Senior Center, but membership, which is free, is not required.
Maryland Senior Idol rules, registration forms, and a photo release and consent form are available at all seven senior centers or may be found at www.aacounty.org/aging. Call the Pascal Senior Activity Center at 410-222-6680 or e-mail pascalcenter@aacounty.org for more information.
