Staged over two days at The Family Hotel, a unique event was held for the 14th time, and for the seventh year as part of the Hats Off to Country Festival in Tamworth.
Many competitors in the CCMA Winter Junior Talent Quest come from the ranks of Tamworth Camerata graduates, who come from all states of Australia and New Zealand.
Other competitors travel from right around the state and further afield to attend.
This quest is staged during the midyear school holidays, making it an attainable trip for many from distant parts.
It’s interesting to note the major placegetters were all 2006 Tamworth Camerata graduates, and being the best of friends, they really didn’t relish competing against each other.
Who wants to beat your best friend in competition? But that’s the spirit of this contest for amateur performers 17 years and younger.
At any given rehearsal in and around the Family Hotel – in the rear carpark, the hotel’s beer garden, perched on stairwells and upstairs in the band room, you would find fellow competitors helping each other rehearse their prepared songs.
As all competitors are 17 or younger, they don’t have to compete with performers older or more experienced, which makes for an extremely level playing field – a major factor in the long-running quest’s growth and success story.
Professional judges are sourced locally and from other districts, and throughout the event the Capital Country Music Association committee members work tirelessly to ensure scores are accurately tallied, microphones function on cue and things run smoothly for the “country stars of the future”.
This event is proudly sponsored by Kensell Holden, NBN Television, The Family Hotel and The Pub Group Tamworth.
