Testimonials

Thank you creating a well run festival that has consistently provided our students with a positive and enriching musical experience. The support staff is friendly, helpful and accommodating. The adjudicators are encouraging and well prepared to understand and coach the developmental stages of younger players. It’s so nice to have this opportunity for young musicians so close to home. 

We really do love your festival. It is such a great experience, the judges are fantastic and work so well with the kids. The judges really look to encourage the kids to continue participating in the arts and to work hard at their craft. 

Thanks for working so diligently with us to make sure we made it there this year, and we will be back next year!

Everything seemed to run so smoothly.  The college students that were assisting were a pleasure, always had a smile!
For me, the after-performance clinic was truly the highlight and elevated the festival from a “medal-driven” experience to a Master Class opportunity.

You guys run a terrific festival – I’m looking forward to doing it all again next year!!!

I couldn’t rave enough about the wonderful experience you so beautifully mapped out for my 6th grade chorus…everyone involved was truly grateful.

Thank you for a great festival… The adjudicators were great – we loved that our students had the opportunity to work with them after the performance! It was a memorable experience for our students. They also had a FANTASTIC time at the park.

Everything was well-organized, you and everyone there were so friendly and helpful, the performance and rehearsal space were brilliant, and the judges were true professionals. They gave us such great, useful feedback, we are putting it all into practice to prepare for NYSSMA Majors.

I don’t know how to thank you. The festival was so efficiently run… you have gone above and beyond for our kids and our school. Please convey my thanks to your judges and crew. Our kids will never forget this experience!

I want to thank you for preparing such a great festival. It was very well organized, and the students had a wonderful time and learned a great deal. I look forward to next year…

Thank you again for such a rewarding and educational experience. We will definitely be back next year!
