Attendance Quotations | Page 2

Thursday's turnout was highest attendance so far this summer.

We tried to schedule some home games out of conference this season, but no schools were willing to come in here to play with the team we have coming back. Porter Arena is a tough place to play. Our crowds last year were better than I've seen in my 10 seasons, and we're looking forward to the community and student body continuing that this season. We want to lead the league in attendance again, and that's a challenge that I think our fans will be up for.

The public's reaction to our project so far has been overwhelming. We just reopened the main aquarium building this spring; as a result our attendance is up 28 percent, which is just tremendous. We're thrilled with that.

We certainly expect to have a stellar year attendance wise.

We feel our athletic programs are worth it, that they are a great investment for the district. We think that athletics serve a huge function. We feel they help keep kids in school, with the grade and attendance requirements we have. We know the two schools benefit from it and we understand the (financial) constraints of the district.

We think right now, attendance looks pretty good.

We have enjoyed record attendance the past two years, and we believe that that trend will continue, based on advanced reservations. We had more than 600 people from 35 states, Canada and China participate in last year's three-day event, and we expect a larger and more diverse group this year. Despite our growing size, we remain the most accessible of the four major conferences. Our size allows us to attract the best speakers, yet gives everyone an opportunity to network in a relaxed atmosphere.

Beth had really turned herself around with her attendance and grades. We're proud of her. Even though she didn't play in some games this year, the NCHSAA considers dressing out equal to playing.

Attendance was up, restaurant and hotel lodgings were up. Theme park attendance was up.

Attendance is way, way up, and I think part of that is the success of the Idols themselves.

Attendance is not where we wish it would be.

Attendance is growing, and we're looking to continue to add more. Some of our players have been hurt, and we haven't won as many games as possible, but we expect to continue to market the product aggressively. We hope that with local investors involved, we'll tap into that growing number.

Attendance is between 800 and 1,000 visitors a day, which is higher than the level in recent years. It's not the Tate Gallery but for us it's very good.

Attendance in some cases isn't what we would like it to be, and when we have extreme cases shame on us if we didn't do anything. I've signed petitions and usually parents fix the problem. We've had cases with up to 30 and 40 absences in a 180- day school year.

Attendance boundaries are in the process of being drawn up.

A significant number of professional meeting planners book with Kalahari because they have documented increased attendance with this quality family-friendly resort. The addition of Trappers Turn further enhances the convention goers' value.

At the end of our seminars, we ask each person in attendance to fill out an evaluation form. We invite those who are interested to meet with us for a free consultation, where we will determine your Estimated Family Contribution (EFC)." ()

Disney has a business model predicated on the widest possible exposure of its media properties to drive attendance at its theme parks and purchases of home video and licensed products. Without broad, consistent local distribution of its films and TV shows in China, their model won't work.

Compulsory attendance is not new. Really, this ordinance just adds a little enforcement to an educational policy that's been around.

Doubling the frequency of attendance leads to a 9.1 percent increase in household income, or a rise of 5.5 percent as a fraction of the poverty scale.

E2V also creates a new type of sponsorship opportunity for leading companies tired of the old methods. We believe that over the course of the year, event organizers of E2V-covered events will find attendance numbers increasing. Our product will help shape networking in the local business community and bring balance to executives' schedules.

The sport is having its greatest year, ... We're going to top 54 million people in attendance (Saturday), and we could come close to 55 million by (today). We're at a stunning attendance pace.

Select shows based on the audience you want to reach, not just on attendance numbers.

Push for specific criteria. Are we measuring frequency of tantrums, school attendance or what?

PROJECTILE, n. The final arbiter in international disputes. Formerly these disputes were settled by physical contact of the disputants, with such simple arguments as the rudimentary logic of the times could supply --the sword, the spear, and so forth. With the growth of prudence in military affairs the projectile came more and more into favor, and is now held in high esteem by the most courageous. Its capital defect is that it requires personal attendance at the point of propulsion.

Our computer basics and Web basics series continue to be most popular, but we've also had good attendance at some of our more subject-oriented classes, everything from finding health information to conducting genealogical research.

Subdued has been the word I've heard to describe the general feeling of people here at the fair. I don't know if it's gas prices or things our nation is going through. But fair attendance is down about 10 percent statewide. If it becomes a trend, it'll be something to address.

One day, bosses are going to depend on these students to show up on time for work. They'll be expected to be responsible and dependable. We preached this at the (last) breakfast and talked about how good attendance can affect your future career.

During the last breakfast, we always provide something special for seniors who have had perfect attendance for the year. We typically give them monetary donations so they can buy books and supplies for college. Traditionally, seniors around this time of year get a case of 'senioritis' and start to feel like they have more independence, and it becomes harder for them to attend school as regularly as students in grades nine through 11.

Annual attendance at the civic center has grown substantially during Susan's tenure. Figure skating and hockey programs are stronger than ever.

The bottom line is the attendance is a direct reflection of the product we've provided. Right now going to a Duquesne basketball game is not the fashionable thing to do. We haven't given our fans much to cheer about recently.

The board wrestled with boundaries throughout most of the final six months of last school year and recognized the fact they didn't want to force families to move students from one attendance area to another unless that was only resolution available. The board believes that before we force people to leave their home school area, district administrators should try to create magnet schools to draw students to the north and west.

a single annual meeting reflects the reality of the market. Attendance at the recent European COMMON was dismal. A single, annual event, coupled with important changes to the venue and purpose, might encourage ASNA to attend a future event.

That's got to be a process. And you probably will see a dramatic increase in attendance because there will be more national interest.

This is the best attendance we've had in three or four years. I appreciate the work the body has done, we got a lot of things accomplished, we were smart with our finances and the officers did a great job.

This being in Michigan really gives it added significance, because this is where it all started. There will be a lot of people in attendance that were on my side since my first race, and that holds special meaning to me.

They (the parents) can still sign up as late as Monday when they drop off. This is the third year. Attendance has grown every year.

They had an unbelievable season. Their attendance was up dramatically and revenues were up dramatically, from $111 million to $132 million.

There was probably a little bit of lack of enthusiasm in some sports. The general public was a little bit absent in providing atmosphere. There are events where attendance has not been maximum.

There were record revenues last year, and attendance things continue to look very good, and those are very positive signs.

There isn't anything that says he has to be in attendance 100 percent of the time, ... We can't put an amount of time. He has to deliver the service that's in his contract.

A carefully vetted group of more than 240 executives, economists, and even a few labor leaders was being assembled. They'd seem diverse and independent to the untrained eye. In fact, nearly every one would be a Bush supporter and many were major fundraisers. Attendance was, in a way, a reward for support.

It's a World Series atmosphere, and it's like this every day. In spring training, we were playing against teams people really don't follow and every place announced a new attendance record.

It's the gift that keeps on giving, through promotion, attendance and future visitation. It's got a tremendous impact at a time when we most certainly need it. Not only has it grown quickly, but it's attracting many runners who have not been to the Myrtle Beach area before.

Dad would be saddened to see the attendance decrease like it has. If we can go to an area where the population is greater and the attendance is higher, then let's go. It's a win-win.

The normal things you need to look out for are attendance at school, dropping grades and taking time away from the home.

That's a big factor, the recruiting factor and being able to state that we have the highest average attendance and what a great building it is to play in. The other thing that it does is, for our guys, they (the fans) become a factor in the game. We can feed off the energy that they give us.

The attendance thing has been the roughest thing.

The attendance is usually at its highest when everyone knows it will be a close match. There's been years where had to delay the start of match because there were so many people in line waiting to get in.

The attendance -- I don't know what can be done about it. If I was a (high school) basketball fan, it doesn't get any better than this.

It's definitely been exciting. Every year we have become better and the attendance has been improving. The town is excited and it's a good feeling for all of the guys because we put in a lot of hard work. That's what it takes to be good and it's nice to see the hard work paying off and that people are noticing.

It is the start of the season, and I look for this to be the biggest season in Major League Baseball history. I believe we will set an attendance record (this season). The sport has never been more popular, I'm very proud of where we are today, and this should be a remarkable year in terms of both competitive balance and attendance.

It's disappointing because it's a great conference. Schools have a big-enough attendance that students should fill it up when the adults don't.

It's interesting to note that Broadway at the Beach's attendance and sales figures increased during 2005 despite the year-round existence of Coastal Grand. Coastal Grand itself also exceeded projections for 2005. The original theory was that there are both different and shared audiences for an enclosed mall environment and for an open festival retail environment along the Grand Strand, and that has held true.

It was a great tournament for the first time. We had much better attendance than we thought we would get. It was absolutely fantastic.

They did it all last week and part of this week to strengthen the attendance policy. They had so many students coming in late.

Not only is there, in my judgment, an oversupply of convention space across the country but attendance is down as well.

The kids just decided they were going to be a really great team and they were really committed. The six weeks of our summer schedule, we had 100 percent attendance out of our entire senior class. That's just how they went about doing things. They just decided they were going to be good and it took off from there. They set a great tone and led by example.

The interesting thing about this particular conference is that more than 20% of attendance is from outside the state. We always get a good percentage of folks from outside, but it seems to be happening at a greater degree in Phoenix.

The consensus is that we don't want to do it; we don't want to leave Pueblo. We've had record attendance in Pueblo the last two years. But enough people have real concerns about the hotel industry down there, so much so that they said we should start looking elsewhere.

I'm afraid our gas prices aren't helping things. We certainly can't blame the weather. The attendance is a little light.

I'm really totally convinced, and I can't predict the time frame, but someday these cartoonists, like Charles Schulz, will have the same reputation in American culture as Mark Twain. This location has tremendous potential for attendance if we do it right.

In each attendance zone, the most recent high schools that we have were designed to be career and technical academies.

In a soft economy, Disney's overall performance continues to be solid, ... Our studio has added yet another quarter to a year of strong growth. At our parks, effective expense-management measures have largely compensated for the weaker attendance that we had anticipated.

I really don't think they'll have the residency, the economics to support a second franchise. I think our attendance would probably be worse, because I don't think you have enough people. That's my main concern.

I really believe we surprised some people. This was a great group to coach all season, and our fans are second to none. The attendance we had at Kettle Moraine for the regional game was outstanding.

If you think about it, they want to make sure that we've got people from McLean participating, they want to make sure that we've got good attendance ? these are all things that we strive to do anyway. So we are really looking at this as a codification of our goals.

Because the average daily attendance is closer to our I think we have a greater chance of success.

God takes attendance every day.

It's certainly easy to calculate the average attendance for Perl conferences.

You know, not that I'm not sensitive about it. Last year when we had the congressional hearings on March 17, people said there's a dark cloud hanging over the game. Turns out last year may have been the greatest year in our history in terms of attendance and everything else.

The jury's still out, and I'm not satisfied. But attendance is gradually improving with each game.

These are not merely courses in which attendees receive a certificate of attendance simply for turning up.

All I can tell you is that we're continuing to gather information. I think Allen's attendance at the meeting reflects the governor's desire to get all the input that he can possibly get.

The Wacken festival started more than 20 years ago with just a few hundred people in attendance. Tickets now sell out before the lineup is announced.

An attendance committee looked at the enrollment and Pinkham still has room while Washington is quite full.

The era when movies could command a major share of public attendance at a set date and time is becoming a thing of the past,

I am inclined to say that the personal attendance and intervention of women in election proceedings, even apart from any suspicion of the wider objects of many of the promoters of the present movement, would be a practical evil not only of the gravest, but even of an intolerable character.
