During the award ceremony, several merit awards will also be made, including a voice class with noted mezzo-soprano Barbara Conrad awarded to Holly Goldstein, and honorable mentions to Kyle Lamprecht, Davis King, and Cedric Hubert.
Proceeds from the event are used to support, develop, and implement performing arts programs that are designed exclusively for the benefit of South Fork students.
