AF entertainment launches talent search Published Sept. 17, 2010 LACKLAND AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- In an effort to find the top talent in the Air Force, Headquarters Air Force Services, Entertainment Branch launched its new Worldwide Talent Search. Vocalists, instrumentalists, dancers, and non-musical talent such as comedians, dramatists and magicians are all encouraged to submit an application and audition video for consideration. Eligible members with technical skills such as audio, lighting, staging, video and even drivers are also being recruited. Air Force active duty, Reserve and Air National Guard members are all eligible to compete. A panel of judges assigned by Air Force Entertainment Branch will evaluate applications from all categories. The top applicants will then be brought forward to the next level of the competition: the Air Force Worldwide Talent Search. This competition will be held Dec. 5-13 at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, where first and second place trophies, fondly called "Roger and Wilco" will be awarded in up to seven performing categories. In addition to the trophies, contestants compete in various performing arts related programs to include dance and musical auditions. These special events tied with the contest will help evaluate the talent potential of each contestant for possible nomination to the 2011 Tops In Blue team.
