The adjudicators chose the 32 Irene Ryan candidates who have moved on to the semi-final round of the competition. Bernadette Cheyne, Irene Ryan Coordinator, was very satisfied with the process. The many and diverse adjudicators representing colleges and universities throughout the Region worked tirelessly throughout the two day process and adjudication sessions featured lively and often spirited discussions of the relative value of the more than 200 auditions. All of the adjudicators were ultimately satisfied with their choices.
Congratulations to all who auditioned and to those who have been forwarded to the semi-final round.
