Review of Part 1: Welcome to Western Guilford

"Welcome to Western Guilford" serves up a day in the life of a changing North Carolina High School, buffeted by the waves of immigrants and a shifting economic reality. The locally addressed issues are common across the country many urban centers, so this segment might make a good kick off for panel discussions on social upheaval and schools.
But the scenes portrayed are a bit at a frentic pace, barely giving the listener time to take in a scene before they are whisked away by another scene setting sound.
I hope the rest of the pieces in this series allow a bit of breath in between its parts, other wise the audience may find themselves tunnig away to give their ears a break
