Media Response

“For an hour, the students were mesmerized.   Deltano involved the students in the presentation by asking questions and demonstrating crucial ideas.”

-Teresa Loflin
Staff Writer
Jamestown News and Record, NC


“Some audiences are well behaved and others Keith Deltano works harder to hook.  Either way, he ultimately grabs the attention of all the public school students he has entertained.”

-Jeffery Whitfield
Staff Writter
The Daily, Atlanta GA


“Keith Deltano didn’t beat around the bush during his Ohio tour which landed at Northmor High School.  He did, however, use comedy to soften the blows.”

-Rebecca Feustel

“Deltano has made presentations at local middle and high schools to help students understand the consequences of their actions.  To help the parents, Deltano will host a workshop at 7 P.m. Wednesday at the Leila Canant Center, Room 109, 615 Third Ave. S., Naples.  The program, called “Fighting Back,” is designed to help parents fight back against negative, high-risk culture.”

The bullying assembly rocked
 
Sample “flow” of rally/workshop combo (2 hour block)

6:00 – 6:15 >Students and parents arrive are greeted and listen to youth praise band.  Students “take over” the front of room.  Parents stay to the back.  Promoters may be worried that the parents will “cramp the style of the youth” by being in the room.  Keith’s experience has been that the youth forget they are back there after a couple minutes.

6:15 – 7:10 > Keith is introduced and performs his wide open show, The New Sexual Revolution.

7:10 – 7:15 > MC explains “the split”.  For example, if thus far, everyone has been in the sanctuary, the parents will now move to the fellowship hall while the youth stay in the sanctuary for a concert. Or, the parents can stay in the sanctuary while the youth move to the fellowship hall far pizza and games.  The combinations and creativity you can apply are endless. 

7:15 – 750 > Keith conducts his PowerPoint presentation for the parents while the youth are engaged in a separate activity.  This presentation is important for many reasons.  An unexpected benefit Keith has noticed is an increase in support for the youth program because parents realize how “toxic” teen culture is and how desperately healthy alternatives hare needed.

7:50 – 8:00 > Workshop and youth activity concludes and parents and youth flow back together and exit the building.

 

This is a sample.  Times can be adjusted and there are many variations.  The idea is to use the time that the youth are not listening to Keith for Keith to address the adults.  Keith has used this combination throughout the country to help stage well attended rallies.   More importantly, including the parents has led to an immediate change in family culture.

Awesome! Awesome job!  Thanks so much for performing “Stop Bullying” at our High School. The kids love the wristbands and lanyards and the brightly colored anti bullying pledges you provided now hang down the main hallway as a reminder.”

Wow! To hold 1200 students’ attention for more than an hour is not only a testimony to your abilities as a speaker, it is also a testimony to the idea that kids want someone to tell them that it is OK to take a stand for what is right.
