On April 29, 2016, the Brick Church Music Series partnered with Advance Music Center (Burlington) to produce 'The Rising Stars', a competition for performers of all ages. By audience choice from 8 separate acts, a single 'winner' was selected to be an opening act in the 2016-2017 season. Additional photos of each act can be found in a separate gallery for that act/performer in the
'Bands and Performing Musicians' group.
Please Note that the band
'Stuart Ross & the Temp Agency' is absent from the group promo shots at the front of the gallery due to long travel distance and late arrival. A separate photo follows for them. Several other performers/bands accepted the offer of separate promo shots on the steps; those not appearing here chose not to do this. The
Rising Stars event received major sponsorship from Advance Music Center, with special thanks to Jeff Wheel.
