August 16, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

The region’s best karaoke singers are getting ready to battle it out at this year’s Wondai Show for fame, glory and cold, hard cash.<\/p>\n

For the last few months, singers have been competing for a place in the finals of the Wondai Show Society’s new Regional Karaoke Sing-Off in fortnightly heats held at Wondai’s Warana Hotel.<\/p>\n

Four people were selected to go into the finals at each of the four heats.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, eight children were also selected to go into a junior section of the competition, thanks to two special Sunday afternoon heats held at the Wondai Diggers Club.<\/p>\n

All 24 singers will be performing in concert on Saturday night, August 27 for a share of the $2500 in prize monies on offer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The competition has been organised by Sue Bradley and Geoff Grevell from Love2Sing.<\/p>\n

The winners of each heat were chosen by guest judges who included Winston Burrows, Guy Davis, Graham Mitchell, Shaz Birkett, Wayne Castle, Bob Monaghan, Luke Radunz and Cam.<\/p>\n

Last Sunday night, all the adult finalists were busy practising at the Wondai Showgrounds to make certain all the gear they’ll need for their performance functioned perfectly.<\/p>\n

“I think a lot of people will be surprised at how much talent we have in this area,” Geoff Grevell said.<\/p>\n

“We had a lot of people competing for a place, and we were pleasantly surprised at the high standard of performances that came through.”<\/p>\n

The Regional Karaoke Sing-Off is a replacement for the Wondai Bull Ride.<\/p>\n

Other new features at this year’s show will include a Show & Shine, horse agility trials, an expanded chainsaw racing area, roving entertainers and children\u2019s entertainment.<\/p>\n
