Durand thought it was important to recognize some of the talented performers at the finals awards concert because it provided an opportunity to recognize them further than just from their competitions and she saw it as a way to show the talent to the community.
鈥淭hose are unique performances, these are memorable performances so it鈥檚 truly entertaining so for someone in the area to be able to come in and have a quick snapshot, it just shows the potential and the straight entertainment value that these kids can put together.鈥�
In addition to putting on a show for the audience the final concert was also a way to present the performers with a variety of awards that were won throughout the festival.
