I think we would have had a disaster of our own, if we had done this without volunteers. Kids are notorious for not speaking up if they're having issues, and from the front, a kid that is 'getting' it looks the same as a kid that's completely lost.
I was surprised at how many people wanted to volunteer, as well! We already have a list of eager people for next year.
