REVIEWS

REVIEWS

"Thank you Subash for the honor that you have extended to me and Janine. It is always a pleasure to work with you and your team. Yours was the only "live virtual" competition with live judges out of the five major competitions we competed in this year. In addition, yours was the only live virtual awards ceremony which we found very enjoyable. Thank you for giving our students the attention that they deserve including asking Madison to say a few words. We look forward to participating again next year. Please know that we are happy to volunteer in any capacity that you need."

-Mary Simons
