Contestants competed in front of a panel of music professionals during the week of March 11 through March 17th at the Country Tonite Theatre in Pigeon Forge, TN. Competitors were judged on quality of performance, star quality, tightness of performance, stage presence, and how well their material reflected their chosen music style.
