The annual Talent Showcase is an opportunity for these amazing students to perform at the historic Woodstock Opera House. Free to the public, this event is not to be missed. A lovely reception follows the performances.

In addition to giving $10,000 in scholarships, the WFAA also gave $1000 to the young men's a capella group, Standing Room Only, from Woodstock High School. The group used the money to help defray the expenses of their spring trip to NYC to compete in the International Competition for high school a capella groups. This was the perfect opportunity for the WFAA to fulfill its mission statement to support young people in their pursuit of the arts.
