Burlingame Idol VII is searching for Bay area talent

The search is on once again for talented Burlingame Idols. This contest is now in its seventh year, and we’ve been searching in deli’s, schools and streets listening for the next Burlingame Idols!

The categories are: 1) 5-10 yrs. old, 2) 11-14 yrs old, 3) 15-18 yrs old, 4) 19-39 yrs. old and 5) 40 and over.

The preliminary auditions begin on April 6, 7PM-9PM at Burlingame Parks & Recreation Department, 850 Burlingame Avenue. For just a $50 entry fee, you can find out if you have what it takes to be a BURLINGAME IDOL. The first five weeks on Monday evenings will be the “auditioning” period. After May 4th, auditioning will end, eliminations made, and the top 12 (three from each category) will be notified. The last three weeks will be spent in polishing the finalists’ performances. The final competition will be on June 6th, 5:00pm at Burlingame Parks & Recreation Auditorium. Contestants, friends and families can enjoy a catered dinner before the competition. First place from each category will receive many opportunities to perform throughout the Bay area during their year of reign.

Three professional musicians have been selected as the judges. Their identities will be revealed on the day of the finals.

All local Bay area talent is welcomed to compete but you must come prepared with a memorized song and CD/karaoke accompaniment.
