I attended your holiday concert last night at South Kingstown High School Auditorium. I thought it was fantastic. All the musicians are very talented and entertaining. I was impressed with the music you composed and your conducting. Very exciting. Good luck with your next few shows.

“We thoroughly enjoyed the Holiday Concert! There is something about the dynamics of live music that cannot be captured in a recording. The variety of music performed was wonderful, and the obvious talent was amazing!”

“My husband and I thought it was the best concert ever! Your group was fantastic! We loved the breakout bands (Flute Choir and Dixieland). Like art, music brings such joy to so many people!”
