(For questions and comments, using my school e-mail listed above rather than info@houstonfest.org will usually get you a faster response, as I cannot check info@houstonfest.org from school, whereas I monitor rustin.buck@fortbendisd.com all day long.  However, please do use info@houstonfest.org for sending in your registration.)

 

Shortly before each contest, I give out my home and cell phone numbers to the teachers who have registered.  In the meantime, contact me by e-mail.  I am usually very prompt in responding to e-mail.
