"I was so excited about your clinic, the kids will be talking about this and asking questions for a month" - Doug Sutton Band Director Mount Baker High School Deming, Washington

"The music just filled the church, very appropriate for our students" - Rose Goeres Principal Assumption School

" The audiences have been awesome. We've had a great reception and it has been a great experience." Gail Olszewski - Guest Artist

"What a wonderful, delightful  
concert you presented for us at 
Trinity Methodist Church last night. 
It will be an evening we will long 
remember!
I believe that you could tell that 
members of our congregation were very
excited about your coming to
Trinity, and everyone was amazed at 
your wonderful musicianship. 
What even added more excitement to
the evening was your appearing to be 
enjoying playing the music as well."
- Evelyn Freeman, Concert Organizer
Trinity Methodist Church 
Port Townsend
"Thank-you so much for bringing your 
brass group to play for our students. 
The music was beautiful. The hands on 
breathing stuff was good. Tess Lund 
really appreciated the composition time 
with James Bicigo."  
Sarah Falls - Band Director 
Port Alberni High School

"I truly am disappointed that I was not 
able to be there to enjoy the performance.
 I heard rave reviews from all the 
teachers about how terrific the entire
experience was. They told me, in fact,
 they learned and what a great job you
did. They reported how our students
 were entralled. Thank you very much."
Maureen Reid - 
Principal St Alphonsus School
