Community Christian’s 21-member concert band won first place under the direction of Ronald Porch. Junior Aubree Zern took the top prize for female soloists, and sophomore Katelynn Moore’s self-portrait, The Girl with a Curl, won first place in mixed media.

The state of Florida placed second in overall point totals at the event.
