May 13th, the Evergreen Festival of the Arts hosted their wind-up sampling of the high lights of three weeks of adjudicated classes. There were about 25 awards and scholarships handed out to worthy participants. The Kiwanis Trophy was the winner of solo winners. This is always a special presentation as no one knows who won in the Trophy class until the end of the concert. The Trophy class consists of winners in piano, voice, speech arts and instrumental classes.
This year, Krista Sigvaldason, playing piano solo, "Cha-Cha" won the coveted prize as well as the Village of Riverton Trophy for piano (Gr. 4-6) and the Lilja Martin Scholarship. (see photo)
The program clipped along nicely showcasing each award winner and ended with a standing ovation for the graceful steps, amazing leaps and acrobatics of the young Gimli Barvinok Ukrainian Dancers. The concert took only one hour and 15 minutes to complete. The families who stayed to support the entire show were given an awesome treat in viewing every single act and they showed their appreciation with the hoots and hollers of the standing ovation. Congratulations to the Festival Committee Members, Mr. Cherlet and sound system students, performers and the families in the audience. The culmination of three weeks ended in super success. Congratulations to all.
