SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. --  Air Mobility Command conducted its seventh annual AMC ICON program and would like to congratulate all of our 2014 finalists. This year's AMC ICON is 1Lt Chad Slayton (JB Charleston, SC), with SrA Andrew Hicks (Grand Forks AFB, ND) and SrA Tim Sentz (Scott AFB, IL) rounding out the top three performers.

This year's ICON command finals were once again judged via video performances of base-level competitions versus a live performance held at the Scott Club. "The competition was once again extremely tight and it's always astounding to see the extremely high level of talent throughout Air Mobility Command," stated Mr. Scott Black, AMC ICON Program Manager. Mr. Black went on to state, "AMC ICON is a great vehicle to further demonstrate the wide range of diversity and resilience of our Airmen."

The other base-level AMC ICON 2014 finalists were:

-  A1C Joshua Dinan representing Dover AFB, DE
-  MSgt Mike Brown representing Fairchild AFB, WA
-  SSgt Michael McDaniel representing Little Rock AFB, AR
- TSgt Sonya Bryson representing MacDill AFB, FL
-  A1C Jaimes Erwin-Spring representing McConnell AFB, KS

AMC ICON is loosely based on the hit TV show, American Idol, and features the vocal talents of active duty members, to include Air National Guard, Reserve and enroute units, from all AMC installations. The top three finishers receive cash awards of $1,000, $600 and $400, respectively. The celebrity panel of judges that selected the best of the best, brings years of music and entertaining experience to the table.  This year's judges included St. Louis media personality, "Smash" from The Smash Band, Dr. Stella Markou, Director of Vocal Studies at the University of Missouri in St. Louis as well as a noted recording artist and theatrical performer.   Rounding out the panel of judges is Capt Jason Plosch, Commander, USAF Band of Mid-America.
