Marble Falls Kiwanis Presents
What a Wonderful World, our third annual fundraiser / talent show was another outstanding success. Performances included a choral group, a violin solo, aerobic dance, ballet, a country band, a jazz band, flute players, and synchronized dancing. All the acts were well performed and the diversity of performers and styles was apparent and well appreciated by the audience. It is indeed a wonderful world and this talent show again confirms that there are a lot of very talented youth and adults here in the Hill Country.
As an added feature this year, Kiwanis was able to award $500 cash prizes in five different categories thanks to a generous donation from lifelong Kiwanian JoAnn McArty. Each entry ticket was given two ballots and each member of the audience was allowed to vote for the act(s) of their choice.
The evening's winners, by category were:
1) Music Large Group - The Marble Falls Middle School Jazz Band under the direction of first year teacher Courtney Avina. This group of young, but very accomplished musicians, also garnered the most audience applause and the most votes of all the groups.
2) Music Small Group - The Hill Top Flyers. Their music is always a treat and were well received by the audience.
3) Music Solo - Jon Hager. Dr. Hager, an accomplished musician, played an electric violin selection that was mesmerizing. After the performance, M.C. Wayne Ratisseau humorously asked if he could play something faster. Oh, and by the way, Jon was riding a unicycle during his performance. Truly an amazing combination of athletic balance and musical skill.
4) Non-Music Small Group - Jenna Anderson, Elliana Anderson, Jade Gaither, and Emma Porterfield. These four young ladies from the Harmony School of Arts did a lyrical dance that impressed everyone.
5) Non-Music Solo - Jade Gaither and Jared Boggan. These two students from the Harmony School of Arts performed a ballet duo that highlighted their impressive ballet skills and athleticism. Another winning performance by Jade.
Pictures and video coming soon.

THE KIWANIS MISSION
Kiwanis empowers communities to improve the world by making lasting differences in the lives of children.
KIDS NEED KIWANIS
Kiwanis helps kids around the world. Local clubs look out for our communities and the international organization takes on large-scale challenges, such as fighting disease and poverty. We are generous with our time. We are creative with our ideas. We are passionate about making a difference. And we have fun along the way.
For more than a century, Kiwanis has created opportunities for children to be curious, safe and healthy regardless of the community in which they live. When you give a child the chance to learn, experience, dream, grow, succeed and thrive, great things can happen.
THE KIWANIS VISION
Kiwanis will be a positive influence in communities worldwide—so that one day, all children will wake up in communities that believe in them, nurture them and provide the support they need to thrive.
KIWANIS SERVICE
Service is at the heart of every Kiwanis club, no matter where in the world it’s located. Members stage nearly 150,000 service projects and raise nearly US$100 million every year for communities, families and projects. By working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone.
