Local Bluegrass Band Places in National Championship
Twenty hopeful bands from all over the country converged at Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO to take part in the 4th Annual National Single Microphone Championship. Each band was required to perform a total of 4 songs over the 2 days of competition in front of two sets judges and over 500 eager observers with nothing but a single condenser microphone between them and the audience. Song selection, audience response, appearance, technique, musicianship, and dynamics were all part of the criteria for the judges and they had their work cut out for them with all of the incredibly talented groups that took the stage. The Stockdale Family Band of Beach City placed 2nd overall.
The Stockdale Family Band can be seen at the Zoar Harvest Festival in Zoar on August 7-8 and Tuscora Park in New Philadelphia on Sunday, August 15. For more information see www.stockdalefamilyband.com.
