Things To Do (a practical post)

The purpose of this blog was to keep friends, family and School of Rock colleagues informed of our progress, as well as to create a record for future potential franchisees to refer to as they go through a similar process.  Below is a high level timeline of the work that lies ahead.  In looking at this, it seems quite aggressive, but not impossible to achieve.

The current hurdle in front of us is the location.  Once we secure the location, the rest of the steps will fall into place.
