Tri-Cities Got Talent Prelims - Johnson City

Saturday kicked off this season of Tri-Cities Got Talent to benefit Kari's Heart Foundation.  We were in Johnson City, and yeah, its got talent!  Here's a peek at some of the performances.  Want to see them all the photos or order some memories?  Check the rest out here!


Jeff gets things started for us, and as usual, he was on a roll!

These girls have so much spunk and fire - they are sooooo much fun to watch!

This kid is a beatboxer and he is A-MA-ZING!  Even the Judges were blown away!

Jennifer took over for Jeff and kept things moving along!

The Judges were treated to an up close card trick by the magician!  And they never saw it coming!

I just love this little boy, he is very quiet and shy and gets out there and does his best!

Next round is in Bristol, VA on June 9, 2011.  Hope to see you there!
