Last Two Competitors Revealed for "Sacramento Has Talent"

Audience Vote is 4th Judge 
 

The selection committee for "Sacramento Has Talent" released the names of the last two performers, completing the list of 12.  Plus, it was announced the audience will be the fourth judge in the show, carrying just as much voting power as the three celebrity judges.  

 

Born and raised in Sacramento, Julie Vang attended Sacramento State and has won many awards including 2011 Hmong Idolist and the 2012 Fox40 Regional "Just Let Me Sing" competition.

 


The duo of Sacramento Youth Symphony violinists 12-year old Brandon Luong and 11-year-old Roger Xia are sure to impress.  They've both earned trophies and gold honors.  When not playing violin, they play piano, or video games.  

   

 

Meanwhile, Master of Ceremonies Christopher Cabaldon, Mayor of West Sacramento, is rehearsing his opening introduction to the show with dancers from Dance Gallery 2 in Roseville. They promise it will be spectacular.

 

Proceeds from Sacramento Has Talent benefit Access Sacramento's Neighborhood News Bureau Youth Journalism Training program.
