"This is a major accomplishment for these students," said Janet Presson, director of the studio. "The Gold Cup is more than a trophy. It recognizes years of hard work by the students and their music achievement. We are very proud of all four Gold Cup recipients this year and the many others who are working on earning their own awards in the coming years."
