Mrs. Collins: Hey, guys! I have some information for you. There's going to be a youth talent festival at the metro center. They're looking for entries. Only one band will be selected from this district. Are you interested? April: Yeah! Mrs. Collins: It means you'll be up against other bands. It's a juried competition and it starts this week. April and her friends: That's too soon!! Mrs. Collins: That's showbiz! PA-THUMP, BOOMP!
I had a similar band in the military. The four of us practiced in the station’s firehouse. A DJ from WGAI radio in Elizabeth City, NC, came out and taped us one day, then played the tapes over the radio like they were records. It was so cool to listen to ourselves over the car radio.
We also played over WTID in Norfolk, Va. Good times.
