2022 Award Winner – Alice Skiff
Tapestry Singers is delighted to announce their 2022 annual $1000 student award to Lincoln Academy’s Alice Skiff. Alice is the daughter of Linda Skiff of Newcastle and James Skiff of Newcastle. She attended Great Salt Bay Community School and Lincoln Academy. She has participated in theater and dance productions and has always been a member of the school chorus. She will be attending the University of Maine at Farmington to study special education. She loves spending time with her friends and her faithful dog Rocky. She has been a member of the Lincoln Academy Choral Program for all 4 years of high school.
“When we went on our trip to New York City, Alice was always game for new adventures. Her effervescent personality lit up the tour bus. You could hear that cheery soprano speaking voice coming from a mile off,” said Beth Preston, retired L.A. choral director. According to Paula Schuster, tour chaperone, “I remember Alice buying a Lego kit for her brother at the Lego Store, which was so sweet! Alice is such a wonderful girl. I love chatting with her at Reny’s. I am thrilled that she is getting a special award.” Lincoln Academy Choral Director, Emily Anderson said, “Alice shows up every day ready to learn and is a shining example of what a member of the choir should be. Her musicianship and work ethic both in the rehearsal room or from home during remote learning are remarkable and she is always striving to improve and challenge herself. We will miss Alice’s warm smile and friendly demeanor and look forward to seeing how she continues to celebrate the joy of music in future endeavors”.
