The 2009 KSMU Youth in Bluegrass Contest will be held at Silver Dollar City in Branson on May 23 and 24 at the Opera House Theater. The event will begin a 3pm on both days.
There are twenty bands competing from all over the country. While the contest is meant to feature young performers under 21 years of age, parents who play in family bands are permitted to compete with their children.
The prizes are $1200 from first place, $1000 for second place, $800 for third place, $600 for fourth place and $400 for fifth place.
While the Bost Family Traditions are grateful to be selected to compete in such an renowned contest - I think that the learning opportunity as well as friendships likely to develop will make the trip well worth while.
We look forward to pickin' out peculiar brand of bluegrass for everybody. I tell the children everyday: If you have done your best, then you are the winner!
Hope we see you there rootin' for us come contest day!

May Family Update
Dear Friends,
We are back on the road again. We had a wonderful month at home doing about five years of spring-cleaning. In hind-site, I think I'm glad we are back on the road because Pamela nearly worked me to death with her never ending"honey-do" list of things to do.
We are sitting in High Rolls, NM this week on the first leg of our journey to Branson, Missouri. The first week on the road has been a roller coaster ride of concerts and driving and driving and concerts. The children seem to be more flexible than me and have bounced back like world champs! They are chomping at the bit to get to Silver Dollar City.
Brooklyn is living with Gramma in Buckeye and trying to adapt herself to the heat. Micah has nearly finished his first semester of college and doing very well. Faith and Liberty are experimenting with fake eye-lashes and that has been a lot of fun to watch. Charity has finally got a confident handle on a two wheel bike and now she and Felicity are having a ball riding around the country. William is learning how to be patient with a very demanding little brother, Jon.
Pamela and I are also quite well and looking forward to our summer tour. We will be in Missouri by next week where the children will be participating in the KSMU Youth in Bluegrass Contest at Silver Dollar City in Branson. The children have worked very hard to get here and we know that - regardless of the results - they are all winners.
Have a look at our special features this month and, by all means, please come see us if we are anywhere near where you live. We look forward to spending some time with you. Until then, God bless and keep you. . .
Jeff, Pamela, Brooklyn, Micah, Faith, Liberty,
Felicity, Charity, William, and Jon
