Awesome night tonight! We love being a part of watching young people shine! Thanks Bucci’s Italian Scratch Kitchen for this opportunity!

🤯 Marion, if you were not at BRAVO! tonight in Passenger & Rail Co. you missed out on some incredibly talented performances! We’re still in awe of our eight participants. The talent this year is unmatched and the competition is fierce.

Congratulations to each of our eight performers! You made opening night a massive success!
BRAVO! will be every Thursday from 7:00-9:00pm until May 21st. Bring the fam, your besties, cozy up with a beverage or a small bite, and help us cheer on Marion’s most talented young performers!

Don’t forget to vote for your favorite performer and drop your receipt in their bucket during the week during lunch and dinner! 25% of each performers total score depends on it.

We will see you next week for “A Night At The Movies” Challenge.

Can’t wait to see all the Youth Talent!!

BRAVO! turned into something sooo much greater than we could have ever imagined last year.

This town PACKED the room to give local youth a platform to show off their talents in the performing arts, and together, we gave away thousands of dollars in cash scholarships to help them pursue their craft.

Soooo… we had to do it again.

Huge thanks to Marion-Crawford Prevention Services, the presenting sponsor of BRAVO! Youth Talent Scholarship Competition 2026.
