Walker's Rising Stars

Check out the new Walker’s Rising Stars T-Shirt!            

We invite you to watch the stars come out at the 7th Annual Walker’s Rising Stars Scholarship Competition on Thursday, May 27 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 finalists were selected to compete at Ruth Eckerd Hall for scholarships up to $7,000.

Meet the Tarpon Springs Jazz Ensemble who accompanied the performers.
