FALL RIVER: It was a night of recognizing success and accomplishment of students at Joyful Sounds Music Studio from the past year on June 3.

The music studio and its staff put on an awards gala to mark their year-end. The awards was held at St. John’s United Church in Fall River.

Many awards were handed out to the students.

Among the awards handed out were Budding Musician; Musical Merit; Ultimate Olympians; Directors Awards.

We will highlight some of the winners below (but not all as that would make it too long) and some photos from the night, which included performances by some of the students — and a special ending where the staff got up on stage and sang.
