Did you ever consider you just might have as much talent as the contestants on Ameri- can Idol or Canadian Idol? Well now is your chance to prove it. The Branch is hav- ing our own Legion Idol on Friday, May 11 at 7:30p.m. You can sign up as a con- testant at the bar with a $5 refundable registration fee. A solo number is not required, therefore, if you feel better singing in a trio, then feel free. There are great prizes for both first and second place. Our host for the evening will be Ryan Seabiscuit, and the judges include, Handy Randy Jackson, Paula Ab- dula, and Simon Howell. The winners will be deter- mined by audience voting. We know we have a lot of talented members, so drop into the Branch and find out more details. I now have a date for the Chili Cook-off, April 21 start practicing.
