Many members in the audience, including teens, say they had an enjoyable evening supporting a good cause.

All of the teammates of the Lehigh group stated they would be back next year to defend their title. “We are all juniors, a tight-knit group, and we take a lot of hard courses in high school. We will be back next year.”
