Freedom, Parkland and Emmaus lead Freddy 2012 nominations

http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/freddy-awards/index.ssf/2012/05/freedom_parkland_and_emmaus_le.html FROM THE EXPRESS TIMES Freedom, Parkland and Emmaus are again the top schools to beat in the Freddy Awards. Freedom garnered 17 nominations while Parkland and Emmaus received 12 each in Thursday’s ceremony broadcast on Channel 69-WFMZ. For the past two years, the three schools have been in the ranks of the highest nomination-getters. All three are competing for the Outstanding Overall Production of a Musical award this year, joined by Notre Dame High School and Southern Lehigh High School. Every school is eligible for that award, but once nominated a school is taken out of the running for the Outstanding Overall Production by a Smaller School category (named for those with less than 1,000 students), said Freddy Awards Producer Jamie Balliet.
