James Stordahl (Jimthebusdriver):
A very good experience. Delightful reception as soon as I arrived. The Superintendent was courteous and he gave me a tour of the venue. He also coached me on what he was looking for in the rally. He basically turned all three hours over to me and allowed me the freedom to perform. I had some in depth conversations with some of the teachers and was invited for lunch following. I really felt I connected. It was a good event!Review by Dani H.
