Thirty-two outstanding fifth-grade students (ages 10 and 11) performed live in front of a four-person panel of judges and an audience of, at times, several hundred on Friday at the Beach-Schmidt Performing Arts Center.
Each of the 32 finalists received an engraved gold medal when they were introduced before the awards announcement.
With the exact same scores, we had a four-way tie at fifth place (We don’t break ties, we just order more trophies.).
Below are the top finishers:
* First place — Evie Dietz as Joan of Arc (O'Loughlin)
