Crossroads
began as a way for beginning entertainers, or people looking to widen
their audience base to do so. In three short years we have
created an
environment where not only is this happening, but an environment where
the entertainers support each other as well. Not only do the more
experienced entertainers give moral support and advice to entertainers
with less experience, it is not unusual to see them taking time to give
children a quick guitar lesson or help them with a poem. We are
expanding our mission to include using our genres to educate the
general public as to where their food comes from and how it is raised.
Is this the right way to put on a gathering?
The proof is in the pudding and the first twelve performers to sign up
for the 2012 show are returning for at least their second show. Six of
these performers (plus the two judges) are returning for their third
trip, which isn't a bad return rate for an event just going into its
fourth year!
Three judges will each give up to 50 points an
act, divided
equally between material and delivery. The Judges will be Rusty
Battenfield,
judging
from
a
musician's
point
of
view, Dave
P.
Fisher, judging from a
poet's point of view, and Gary Fuentes, of Van Horn, judging from a
spectator's point of view. The scores will be tallied and the top
ten put on a whiteboard for all to see as each entertainer finishes
their act. Any events participating
via internet will be immediately put in contact with the entertainers
of their choice! To sign up, simply fill out the form and you are in
the "Cowboy Correct Gathering!"
