 I've found participating in Stromgard's Arts and Sciences Championship
 to be a really great experience. All the judges were very encouraging
 and offered a lot of good advice and suggestions for resources for my
 musical performances. It helped me meet people who share the same
 hobbies and the advice I've received has helped me learn and grow in
 my art.

 This has been a very fun experience for me, it's been a great way to
 meet new people and a great honor, and I strongly encourage anyone

 who's at all interested in the arts and sciences to enter! :)
