Not the best picture in the world of a Junior Division contestant and his accompanist,  Alex Klepach, Principal Pianist of the Philharmonic.

The three judges (I do not have their names at the moment) discussing the Junior Division winner.
The choice was unanimous.

The recital hall at the Rhinehart Music Center.

A Senior Division contestant sneaking in a quick warm-up on the performance piano while the judges were on lunch break. Her name is unknown for now because, after checking in, the contestants are identified only by number on their name tags.
