Walker's Rising Stars

Check out our Walker’s Rising Stars T-Shirt!

We invite you to watch the stars come out to the 9th Annual Walker’s Rising Stars Scholarship Competition on Thursday, May 24, 2012 at Ruth Eckerd Hall. This stellar evening of Pinellas County Public School student artistry is the culmination of countywide competition.

Walker’s Rising Stars was created and funded by noted Bay Area neurosurgeon Dr. Jeffrey Walker, to recognize Pinellas County Schools’ most outstanding public high school junior and senior solo performers in the fields of instrumental music, vocal music, theater, dance and visual arts. More than 200 students entered the competition. Through several rounds of preliminary and semifinal judging, 20 performing arts & visual arts finalists and 4 teams of video artists were selected to compete at Ruth Eckerd Hall for scholarships up to $5,000.
