The Tenacity of Talent

Forty-plus years after Lewis Huff struck up the annual Huff Music Contest, the annual high school competition plays on.  Special guest performances at this year’s competition highlighted the tenacity of talent among winners past: (pictured left-right): 1990 Instrumental Ensemble winners Dennis VanAusdal and Rhett Wilson, and 1987 String Solo winner Renae Brown Johnson, along with competition directors, Colleen Huff Wilson and Wayne Huff.  Renae performed a cello solo on the very same instrument that was given to her by the contest’s founder.  Absent from photo are Chris Walker and Steve Lee, winners past and performers present in a trumpet quartet with Dennis and Rhett.  (They are included in a picture published in the March 18, 2015 edition of The Payson Chronicle.)
