From the transcript

I deeply care about my Goldenview students and my community, and I wouldn't feel like I did my best if I didn't advocate for them, which is why I'm here tonight. It's my only hope that they receive the education and experience that every one of my prior students has received and that they wholeheartedly deserve. To close, I would like to extend an invitation to all of you to spend a day in my Goldenview band room, witness some of the amazing things my students do daily, and see how my schedule and student load is impacting them. You'll see moments of amazement, amazement, but you'll also witness the challenges head-on. Thank you for your time.
