“I love that the competition stage and all events take place at one location. I don’t need to trek my kids all over the city. Having video critiques is so awesome. It was helpful getting to see the whole picture with their feedback. Saturday night special Awards Gala is unlike anything else we’ve experienced. The kids loved getting dressed up. I can’t forget the Purple Party either. Crazy fun! Thank you for all you do for small and large programs. We appreciate you!”
