“We submitted an online audition and then they responded that they had the tape and gave us an audition time,” Launie Anne tells EastIdahoNews.com. “We’re excited to see what happens.”

Since performing at the Jazz game, Paige has sung at other events.

The Annes plan to document their trip to Arizona with live Facebook updates.

“She’s going to sing at every gas station so she can be ready,” Anne says. “I think she’s so much braver than anybody that I know. She can get up in front of anybody and sing in front of thousands and thousands of people and not bat an eye. It’s fun to see her wings grow. It’s fun to see her fly.”
