The 2009 KSMU Youth in Bluegrass Contest was held at Silver Dollar City in Branson on May 23 and 24 at the Opera House Theater. There were 19 bands from all over the United States. The Bost Family Traditions scored 410/500 points and came in 6th place.
The most striking facet of the competition was how GOOD these young folks are. I would say that many of the best young musicians in America were on the stage. Our whole family was just overwhelmed by the quality of musician we saw.
Given the quality of the competition, I can say without reservation that I am very proud of the Bost Family Traditions. They put on a great performance for a capacity crowd.
We also made a lot of new friends. As a general rule, the folks competing in the contest were friendly and congenial. SDC sponsored a pizza party/jam on Saturday night so the young folks could socialize. My hat is off to D.A. Callaway for organizing a great event.
The competition was a great experience and we hope to compete again in two years.
