Salisbury University Student Granted Parke Scholarship

Johnnie Kearse, freshman music major bassist at Salisbury University, has been selected as the recipient of The Parke at Ocean Pines Cabaret Club Performing Arts Scholarship Award.

Mr. Kearse was chosen by the University's Music Department because of his musicianship, dedication, professionalism and leadership in educational endeavors.  Dr. Jerry Tabor, Professor of Music, said that Mr. Kearse excelled in all categories.

A group of Parke Cabaret Club members, including founders Roger Lippincott and Jim Angstadt, attended the University's Big Brazz Jazz Band's recent concert.   During the concert, Mr. Lippincott made the scholarship announcement where he not only congratulated Mr. Kearse but encouraged him to continue his education and performance skills in America's original art form, jazz.
