Congradulations to all the winners!
I wish they would tell student that audition that are not selected to be in the competition that they were not chosen. Students wait all week, up until the Friday night before the competition, to be told if they were selected for the competition. If you not chose, I guess they don’t bother to inform you one way or the other–needs to be a better process that that!

Congratulations Kevin Blickfeldt!! All of your hard work has paid off. Since you found your voice and set your goals, you have blown us away with your accomplishments. And yet, no one is surprised. Along your path you have been supportive in a complimentary fashion. It must have been so hard to wait for the results until just recently. Thank you Alltech Vocal Scholarship Competition.
