Chantilly and Westfield High each won a Cappie during Sunday’s 10th annual Cappies Gala at The Kennedy Center, in Washington, D.C. But the night mostly belonged to Robinson Secondary School, which scored seven Cappies — including Best Musical and Lead Actor in a Musical for "Fiddler on the Roof." Hayfield won the Best Play Cappie for "Twilight of the Golds."

For its play, "Harvey," Chantilly’s tech crew constructed a huge house that portrayed a different setting on each side and had to be quickly transformed from one side to the other. So the students were especially pleased to win the Cappie for Stage Crew.

"We had a gigantic set and we turned it around in 1 minute, 8 seconds," said junior Mike Moratto.

"It was two stories, and it was on wheels, not turntables," said senior Darrian Levere.

Senior Meghan Carroll was "so excited."

Classmate Pat Smith said, "This is my first show I’ve worked on, so it’s amazing to be a part of it." Added junior Holly Pardo: "A lot of work went into it."

Westfield’s Elisabeth Bloxam won the award for Rising Critic. Afterward, she said, "It’s amazing; I’m shaking a lot. It’s such a shock."
