Lamorinda Idol 2014 auditions were held May 15-17 with over 200 young people from Orinda, Moraga and Lafayette auditioning before a panel of three judges, who selected the finalists. Commenting on the auditions, Lamorinda Idol chairman Steve Harwood said, "I think those of us present knew we were witnessing something very special as each of the auditioners was well prepared, put themselves on the line and gave it their all. We have a very talented group of finalists, but each of the auditioners was special." Thirty-four soloists and 11 groups will compete at the finals on Sunday, Sept. 7 at the Orinda Theatre. The community will also be treated to several performances throughout the summer in Orinda and Lafayette from finalists and runners up.
