After four days of judging presentation themes, cheerleaders and student sections the SJI Spirit Awards Committee compiled the points and announced the official results.
This year's presentation theme was based on an Elvis Presley theme. Themes featured dancing, music, costumes and were often accompanied with a skit performed by the students. For the 2006 SJI the theme will be "Country Music Jamboree."
