Wow! Last night, the TRIAD IDOL audience at War Memorial Auditorium witnessed 41 amazing performances by the finalists. Every finalist—in each of the three age groups—displayed exceptional talent and stage presence. The four judges and the audience (which counted as the fifth judge) had their work cut out for them.

10-year-old Karson Bankhead of Asheboro garnered the most audience support; she won two tickets to the American Idol Live! 2006 Tour at the Greensboro Coliseum on July 30.


And the winners are...



in the 8- to 12-year-old age group:


Trenton Durham of Concord


Cameron Vaughn of Burlington is the first runner-up; and

Marques Haynesworth of Greensboro is the second runner-up





in the 13- to 18-year-old age group:

The 2006 TRIAD IDOLS will represent the Community Theatre of Greensboro at different events over the next year.
