[ccpops] TTS Successful

[CarolDjamison at aol.com]

TTS this year was a great success!  For me, it was a magical evening.  The 
performers were superb!  The parents showed where all that talent came from, 
and our opening and closing acts blew me away.  Of course, we could see and 
hear it all because of our techies!

We had a full house!  Thanks to all of the publicity and ticket sales, we 
were full up!  TTS could not be successful without the attendees, and we had 
them!

The food was awesome!   We should adjust the recipes next year -- there were 
not a lot of bowls left at the end of the night with soup left in them!  I 
wanted to pick up my "cup" and slurp those last few drops, but felt it would 
be slightly less than polite in the TTS setting!  It was served smoothly and 
well, thanks to our competent student waitstaff,

The room was stunning --  The color choice, and the way the stage was 
configured, the tables, everything!  More than one person told me about how 
beautiful the room was.  They found it amazing that it could look so 
wonderful -- what is normally an empty cavernous space.  

The auction also went very well.  We had lots of great items thanks to the 
generosity of our parents, teachers and the community.  We went into TTS with 
over $2000 in bids, thanks to a very cool online preauction. Virtually 
everything was bid on and purchased, thanks to the generosity of our 
attendees.  In addition checkout proceeded smoothly and rapidly.  I don't 
recall seeing anyone waiting to check out for more than a few minutes.

In short, so many people worked so hard to make this happen -- it is truly a 
community event, and everybody played their part.  We raised a significant 
amount of money (we don't have final figures yet) to support our kids and 
their performances.  In the end, it is all about the kids!  Thank you to 
everybody who participated!
