UPDATE - Missoula's own Victoria Valentine is in Boise, Idaho today for a private audition for the producers of America's Got Talent. KGVO News is waiting to hear how she was received by the judges. Best of luck, Victoria!

 

The reigning Miss Montana, Missoula's Victoria Valentine, has yet another.honor to celebrate.

After seeing Valentine's talent portion in the Miss America Pageant, in which she combined harp and vocals, she was invited for a private audition to perform on the reality show, America's Got Talent.

"The senior producer contacted my Miss America director, and she received an email that season 10 of America's Got Talent has requested that I get a private audition, that I'm super thrilled about," Valentine said. "There are multiple sites where you can audition, and the closest to me will be in Boise, Idaho, and I'll be headed over there on February 10th."

Valentine described how the two musical abilities of playing the harp and singing came together.

"I've always dome those two talents separately, so combining them was a little bit of a challenge," she said. "Believe it or not, it didn't really come together until right before Miss America, and I'm so thrilled that the opportunity to perform might continue on America's Got Talent."

Valentine said, unlike her Miss America experience, where she was surrounded by friends and family, the trip to Boise will be made alone.

"I'm actually headed over there by myself, so I'll just throw my harp in the car and drive over there. I'll throw it in the car gently, of course."
