2012 Major Award Winners
Illa Rumpel Scholarship:
| Parker Gawryletz | 6 years old – flies on the piano and violin after only two years of lessons. Parker wishes to purchase an electric piano so he can continue to record and write his own music. |
| Jenna Caspell | 17 years old – Jenna and her siblings have performed in this festival for many years! Jenna now teaches music – both choral and piano. Two years ago, she was our overall festival winner. Jenna has a passion for inner city kids and wants to teach children who can’t afford their own lessons. To do this, she will need instruments for children to use who do not have the financial means to buy them. She is also looking to buy an amp for her keyboard so that she can be a little more portable. |
| Alysse Ernewein | 15 years old – an accomplished dancer, singer, performer, songwriter, and actor. Her resume would be equal to a seasoned performer. Alysse has worked very hard. She has prepared herself in many ways, has disciplined herself, which enhances her natural abilities to do many things well and is now ready to go on. This year Alysse released her first I-tunes single and is saving money to go the next step – professional recording of her own music. |
| Jhyro Aganta | Lives in Cochrane. He sings, learned guitar and drums, and does so using the school band room and equipment. He would like to purchase his own drum set so he could play when he wants to versus when the band room is open. His commitment, natural musical ability, and his passion are a great combination. |
