Liberty National Bank employees in Ada are excited for Raegan Cox who will have a live audition for the popular NBC show "America's Got Talent" at Cobo Center in Detroit on Saturday, Nov. 7.
Raegan's mom, Heather, works at the bank. Reagan, 11, is a sixth grader at Miller City Schools where she participates in choir and band. She has participated in a state-wide choir, sang for St. Nicholas Catholic Church for the Children’s Mass, and entertains in nursing homes.
She has accomplished all of this without any voice lessons - a natural talent.
Heather, her mom, is assistant vice president and director of marketing and public relations at LNB. Her dad, Craig, manages a Save-A-Lot in Lima.
Raegan got the Cobo gig after Heather sent a video of her daughter performing to producers of "America's Got Talent." She must have impressed the judges. They called the next day to schedule the live Detroit audition.
She will have only 90 seconds to impress the judges who are show producers.
What if she is selected at that point?
"We don't know yet, hopefully appear before the TV judges in the spring," Heather said.
In the meantime, there are decisions to be made: what song to sing, what clothes to wear.
Then, on Nov. 7, it will be the judges who will have to make a decision...who goes on. Bank employees in Ada have their favorite, "Go, Reagan."
