I'm not excited, I'm just continuing with my long-term strategy for eventual success.
The $25-27k from my shows will help, but most of that will go back into hosting the next round of 30 ensemble competitions, anyway. My full-time fund-raising campaigns have already gone back into my instructional staff which will hopefully be enough to get my ensembles info semi-finals this season.
I expect to have to complete a number of seasons before my ensembles are the perennial finalists they were in version 1.
