BOCA RATON, FL (January, 5, 2011)--The Rotary Club of Boca Raton’s 8th Annual Future Stars Performing Arts Competition (www.rotaryfuturestars.com) will kick off the Festival of the Arts BOCA 2011 for the third year as the Festival’s opening event (www.festivaloftheartsboca.org) on Friday night, March 4, 2011 at 7 p.m. at Count De Hoernle Amphitheater at Mizner Park with an inspiring talent showcase of Palm Beach and Broward county middle and high school vocal and dance performance artists. The program will feature more than 30 performances, ranging from solo and group vocal to solo and group dance presentations with 100 performers “taking the stage” to compete to become "2011 Future Stars" winners.  
Sponsored, presented, produced and manage by the Rotary Club of Boca Raton, “Future Stars” is South Florida's premier middle and high school vocal and dance performing arts competition, not a talent show. Past winners include artists now attending "The Juilliard" and other prestigious music and dance degree programs at prestigious universities, including Vanderbilt and University of Florida. All event proceeds raised support the Rotary Club of Boca Raton’s "Changing Lives & Building Futures" Scholarship Programs in education scholarships to local high school students.
“We are pleased to once again provide South Florida’s talented young artists with the opportunity to perform in a professional setting, with a “state of the art” sound system and a purpose built amphitheater, and it is due to the support of so many in our community that we are able to continue our mission,” noted Rick Taylor, originator of the Rotary Club Future Stars Program and Event Producer. The event is presented by the Rotary Club of Boca Raton in conjunction with Flossy Keesely; Ziegfield Girls of Florida, Inc.; Ocean Properties, Ltd.; Sun Capital Partners; Celebrity Cruises; Boca Raton Regional Hospital; Boca Raton Magazine; HSBC Bank; Miami Systems, Inc.; General Contractors; All Star Engraving; Multi-Image Group; Mummaw & Associates, Inc.; Kaye Communications, Inc. and other community partners.
