Henryetta Sisters Selected to Represent Branson on National Stage

Henryetta-Sisters

HENRYETTA, Okla. — Three sisters from Henryetta, known as Sisters 3 — Brayla, Shay, and little Nyla, have been selected to represent Branson, Missouri, through the North American Country Music Association, a national honor recognizing young performers for their talent and dedication.
The sisters will travel to Tennessee from March 17–29, where they will perform in Pigeon Forge and participate in four auditions for the Grand Ole Opry.
Brayla, Shay, and Nyla attend Ryal School, where they are active in two cheer groups. They also perform cadence for Henryetta VFW Post 539 under the direction of MTS Tricia Bear and are actively involved in the local Veterans of Foreign Wars, supporting community and patriotic events.
In addition to their school activities, the girls study dance with Julie Bryant and receive voice instruction from Lynn Wantiez, continuing to develop their performance skills.
The sisters attend Joy in Life Church and frequently perform at local nursing homes, sharing music and encouragement with residents. They regularly appear on stage at the Hoffman Fellowship Center, a local venue operated by their grandmother, Ruby Burney, where they have become familiar faces in the community.
This opportunity marks an important milestone for the Henryetta sisters as they represent their hometown, school, and community on a national stage.
