<BR>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!
<BR>
<BR>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!
<BR>
<BR>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,
<BR>
<BR>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.
<BR>
<BR>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.
<BR>
<BR>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!
