The Performing Arts Foundation at Kennedy High School's Second Annual "District Idol" raised funds for the Foundation while giving the talented students in the Anaheim Union High School District an opportunity to compete in a district-wide vocal competition.  This year junior high competed on Thursday night and high school competed on Friday, October 12th. 
 
The enthusiastic crowds encouraged the vocal finalists with their cheers and applause.  Three experienced judges critiqued each vocalist and selected the "Judges' Choice Award" each night.  The high school finalist Imon Santos won the Judges' Choice award of $400. The Judge's Choice junior high prize was awarded to Alexys Ungria ($175) who also won the People's Choice award of $100.
 
Then the exciting "Peoples' Choice Award" winners were announced.  The 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners each received cash prizes.  The audience selected their finalist choices by dropping their tickets in their favorite contestant's bin.

The Foundation raised about $2300 at the event.  We thank the Anaheim Union High School District Student Ambassadors who assisted with the night's festivities as well as all the members of the Foundation for their dedication.  Big thanks to Ron Hoshi, Foundation Board President for his expertise in the production of the competition and his tireless dedication to this event and students.  If you love the performing arts and want to help the students and community make the Performing Arts Auditorium first-class and purchase needed items for the facility, please contact the Foundation at http://www.kpacfoundation.org
