When I say over the moon, I mean, I think I said, my God 300 times when I saw the callback list and this has been the opportunity of a lifetime. I told myself my whole life could change by attending this event. And I've been believing that from the beginning."

"Chris, Tristan and I wanted to take a moment and personally thank you for your belief in Tristan and invitation to your National Expo. The event was fun and a great experience for him. While there he received many callbacks. All with positive feedback. We left feeling hopefully but certainly thought it would be a while before we heard anything. However we heard back from NYMMG very quickly and we officially signed Tristan with them today. The advice you all gave was very helpful and I truly believe it played an enormous part in Tristan's success. So today we just wanted to say thank you for believing in him and hosting events like this even for young talent."
