LAKE HUNTINGTON, NY — The Bodenstein Music Advancement Scholarship of $500 has been awarded to Noah Bauer of Callicoon, who plays tenor saxophone. Noah plans to study electrical engineering at New Paltz in the fall, but, he says, “I plan on continuing my music career in college by auditioning for bands and gigs throughout the campus.”

Vocalist Leeann Bruestsch was awarded the Bodenstein Music Achievement Scholarship of $100. Her application states, “In order to lead a fulfilling life, you need to find something you’re passionate about and give all your energy in pursuit of that passion.”

The Dr. Barry and Jane Bodenstein Music Scholarship was established by the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance in Narrowsburg to honor Dr. Bodenstein of Jeffersonville, a community leader and avid percussionist, and his wife. The contest was open to high school seniors from Sullivan West High School. The student auditions were juried by Janice Myerson and Dan Desmond.
