The band has been busy rehearsing, the awards have been engraved, and all of the entertainers and Terry Awards staff have been gearing up for another exciting year. From the entertainers in the audience to the ones presenting and performing on stage, there is going to be so much incredible talent at this year\u2019s show. The nominees are all so well deserving and to have just a few of them perform on-stage this year will be spectacular! You just won\u2019t know what special surprises to expect!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On top of all of the prestigious awards that will be given out, five scholarships will be given out to students in the Branson area. The Terry Awards team believes in helping and encouraging others in any way possible and this is our way to help give back. It is a blessing being able to support the city of Branson through this Award\u2019s show. The Branson community is like one big family and it is so great to be a part of it! It is my hope that you will join us for the 3<sup>rd<\/sup>\u00a0annual Branson Terry Music Awards.
