The Bugle Boy hosted SUNDAY PERFORMANCE SHOWCASES from January 2008 through December 2011 for performing songwriters. National and statewide acts performed 2 songs each. Three finalists returned to play a third song at the end of the afternoon, for a chance to win a cash prize, a spot in the bi-annual BEST OF SHOWCASE CONCERT, and a GRAND PRIZE performance at the annual ANNIVERSARY SHOW in January. Performance showcases were well attended and were hosted by Lane Gosnay. Sponsored by the City of La Grange and Songwriters Serenade, these showcases were a great opportunity for up and coming talent to hone their skills and for listeners to see and meet tomorrow's headliners.
