Academy Awards 2024

This year marked the 22nd 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 class, Academy Award hosts Maya Lownie '24 and Huck Jennings '25 took the stage, delighting the audience with their energy 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.
