"It is truly a full circle moment to have Dr. Hoch working with my kids in Ada. Dr. Hoch helped me aspire to be the best version of myself by holding me and everyone in the band to the highest standards. It is hard not to appreciate someone who believes you can aspire for more. The kids learned a lot in his short visit with us," commented Bivens.
