The award was given in the best music/entertainment (local) category. It was presented at a conference last weekend in San Francisco. It was the first time the troupe received the award.

The group previously had won national awards from the New York Festivals, a Crystal Award of Excellence and from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
