I think James Powell (Impact Director) has really created a very unique ensemble for the performers.It's great to see an independent group that has all local members and is truly dedicated to education.Thought I wasn't involved with Impact's first season James kept me very updated on their progress.From my first season of actual involvement to the current season everything has improved.The organizational side has gotten stronger and the talent level has gone up.Of course with any group there comes growing pains.One pain being that as the talent level goes up, some of the people might not be able to keep up, but this is just life I guess.If Impact continues this rate of progress over the next few years, the possibilities are endless.I'm very honored to be a part of the Impact staff alongside James and the other staff members.
