"I just wanted to thank you again for the amazing performance... their engaged presence should be proof positive that they enjoyed your assembly... You obviously made a strong connection with the students, especially with the analogy of the 3 chairs... The kids were mesmerized."

James Fry, Director of Student Activities, Malvern Preparatory School, PA

"Cary, thank you for a fun show and a powerful message... I appreciated the straight matter-of-fact talk you gave around the three chairs; 3 types of people. To call out the bully as self-centered and not growing up with the rest of us, was a wakeup call for some. To empower the top chair as the leaders anyone can become was the positive message we needed to hear. Well done."

"Allow me to take a moment of your time to let you know the impact Cary made at Sonora High School. Even after a month our students still talked about his performance. They continued to marvel at what he is capable of doing, and talked of his performance with fondness; fondness for him and what he created within that magical hour. Cary's finale, Gift of Life, was spectacular and incredibility moving. I have never witnessed our auditorium so mesmerized by anything."

"Cary Trivanovich's assembly yesterday was amazing! He was funny and entertaining, but most importantly his message was powerful. Choosing Character Over Bullying is more than a catch phrase, it is a way of life. Do you want to be first chair? Second chair? or Third chair? Choose as if your life depends on it, because the course of your life does."
Patrice McCallum, Principal, Ridgeview Elementary, Granite Bay, CA

"I've never seen the kids so mesmerized by a performer and I really believe that your message got across to them. You immediately gained their respect by sharing your talent with them and then talked to them like a friend who's been bullied himself. It's great to see someone like you using your awesome talents to improve the lives of our children!!"
