Welcome to the first day of BC KWC finals! We have been working hard to prepare for this weekend. I hope you all come in today with a new found love for music, a drive to do better then your last performance each time, a full heart with your new found karaoke family.

Show up with the intent to win. Dress to impress, warm your vocals, hydrate, and eat something that fuels you. You have all worked so hard To get to this point. We have all watched you grow and are impressed by you weekly.

Keep.
In mind this is your new karaoke family. Everyone is here to support one another and watch each other grow and succeed. Your judges will be happily sitting in there spot watching you perform. They will be giving their time and effort to help you make it towards nationals with their comments.And for some of you hopefully help you to grow farther in the competition for next year.

Remember if you do not place this weekend for national finals, It does not mean you are not an amazing singer. Rather, Someone else checked off more points on a rubrics than you did. And sometimes ....by a fraction of a point.

Do your personal best. That's all we can ask of you. Your KWC family is here to support you through it all.. family comes in all forms. Welcome to the KWC family.

We can't wait to see what you bring to the table this weekend.

We would like to take this time to congradulate not only our Venue finalists, but every single competitor who came out and really gave it their all. It is quite literally a difference of meer points or fractions of points that pushes one person forward instead of another. Do not be discouraged. This does not mean you are not a great singer, it means that in 2 songs, someone else checked off more points on the Rubrics then others. Sometimes it's one pitch issue, or one outfit. Take the judges commnets, work your butt off and come back next year... bigger and better than ever. We see you trying, we see you shining, don't let 2 songs get to you. You are all amazing and I wish we could take each competitor along the way. We watch you grow and cheer you on. We are family now.

Again congradulations to everyone. I can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve for finals!
