We have recently had the pleasure of having the group of Absolute perform at our school. The presentation was highly charged, enthusiastic and teen focused. The dynamism of this group drew an immediate reaction from our students. The variety in the music, stories and presentation kept heir attention and challenged them. The key element was the fact that these performers shared personal stories and our students could easily relate to them. As a result, they know that when faced with decisions in life, they are not alone. Others have had to make similar decisions and it is good to have a strong system of values upon which you can make your decisions.
Many of our students returned i the evening for a second show because they found it not only entertaining but challenging and personal. In one short hour, this group established a rapport with our students. Consequently, our students were able to relate, open their minds and their hearts to the words of wisdom that were spoken.
Absolute offers an excellent program to young people who are faced with the daily task of making wise choices. It puts their lives in perspective. I highly recommend the group to any secondary school.
Sincerely,
