Academy Awards 2023

This year marked the 21st year of Brimmer’s Academy Awards, an annual celebration of our students’ contributions to the performing and visual arts programs throughout the year! Following a festive reception and an outstanding fashion show featuring designs from our Upper School students in Kathryn Lee's Fashion Design I and II, Academy Award hosts Haripriya Mallidi ‘23 and Alison Rimas ‘23 took the stage, delighting the audience with their energy, humor, and charisma. The Upper School Instrumental Ensemble, led by Middle and Upper School Instrumental Music Teacher Alex Ostergard, provided upbeat and lively interludes as student, faculty, and alumni presenters handed out awards.Awards were given to Middle and Upper School artists for their outstanding contributions onstage and behind-the-scenes in our plays and musicals, for their vocal and instrumental efforts in our ensembles, and for their commitment and developing talent in our visual arts classes. Creative Arts Department Chair Bill Jacob also acknowledged this year’s Alumni Creative Arts Hall of Fame inductee, the cast of the 2003 production of Anything Goes, which was formally honored at this year’s Alumni Day Celebration. Mr. Jacob reminded our students that we very well could be honoring the magic they create in the arts at Brimmer today twenty years from now!
