It was the first time in their lives that these Romanian women earned money for their work. And for us to be able to make that happen was amazing.

What I'm doing is a dream come true but at the same time its work. It's like anything else. The only time it doesn't really feel like work to me is when I'm on stage and doing what I've prepared myself for my whole life which is to stand out in front of a crowd and sing.

This one-time money allows us to (balance the budget) this year, but we still have a lot of work to do,

It seems like every time we come up with something good to raise money, everybody all over the county starts doing something similar.

It's made us work closer together toward a goal, ... We've always had a good relationship.

They told us we deserved to win a state title. They asked how hard we were going to work for it. Now we've won and showed everyone that we deserved to be here.
