The school has an opportunity to defend its Best Musical title.
Baldwin High School has an opportunity to defend the Gene Kelly Awards' Best Musical title, earning six nominations in 13 possible Kelly categories this year, including that one as well as Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor.

The school is recognized for its production of 'Curtains.'
By earning an impressive eight nominations in 13 possible categories, Baldwin High School has put itself in fine position to walk away from the 2012 Gene Kelly Awards show with a good bit of hardware.
