Festival '18 ★ Thank Yous
Festival '18 - Hey, Brandon! Hope you didn’t leave on a stretcher last night! Just wanted to say you and your staff did a fantastic job this weekend. Thank you for all the work and time that went into this past weekend. It was a great experience for my students and they all had a wonderful time. Kristen V. Festival '18 - State Theatre!! The family, all three students studying various instruments, including Dad(!) had great seats, loved the program and thought the soloist was "brilliant". Thanks for setting up this partnership with State Theatre. What a great idea for everyone. Please convey my gratitude to them for the four tickets to the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra... - Colette A. Festival '18 - Hello Brandon, I am dropping this email to thank you for the wonderful time I had at the 2018 MAMTG Festival as I did not have a chance to do it in person before leaving today. I stayed until almost 4pm at the awards ceremony (what an beautiful event, first time I attended it!), and was sorry I had to leave before it finished. The MAMTG Festival is something special, and you do an extraordinary job to make it a top musical event of our area. Thank you, Alessandra Festival '18 - Hey Brandon, Another successful MAMTG event this year. Much improved from last year. Kudos to your team and glad I could emcee and help out this year. - Lisa C. Festival '18 - Hi Brandon, Thank you for the great piano festival! It was a really great experience which my students like a lot. Ryan F. Festival '18 - Hi Brandon, I first wanted to thank you for all the hard work you put into the Festival. It was very nice and I really enjoyed seeing all the children... Thank you, Roseann B. Festival '18 - Hello Brandon, Thank you for organizing a wonderful MAMTG 2018 event at the Westin, Forestal. Your colleagues and you have done an amazing job bringing so many students together and giving them a platform to perform, to learn and enjoy music in so many ways. My twins participated for the first time with MAMTG, through the Music Worskhop Berwyn and they did win awards for all their performances but more than that they were so happy to experience performing under the observation of a judge and hear so many of the other participants with their unique style of performing. Hope to be there next year also at the MAMTG. Thank you for all your hard work. Thanks, Kavita M. |
Festival '18 - I know you all must be wiped after the fantastic festival, but before I forget I wanted to send this email to thank you both for all of your work with our daughters. Destiny did not want to do either the evaluation or the competition – but she went up for both and faced her fears. She even attended the drum clinic and got up and played… Lisea was extremely nervous – and I saw it in her playing. She played very slowly and she messed up a note on the competition. But if you truly knew my child, the fact that she continued after her mistake and did not stop and run out of the room is our victory for the day. We were too wiped to stay until the awards ceremony – but we did not need to because we really were so pleased with their progress in music and their growth in confidence – nothing could matter more. I am sure you hear this all the time, but thank you very much for all you are doing. These are not just music lessons, but they genuinely are lessons and tools for life.” - Lisa D. Festival '18 - Hello Brandon! Bravo to you and your team for a VERY successful event!!! My students, their parents (and I!) enjoyed the weekend immensely and plan on returning next year with a bit more 'insight' as to which categories my students will elect to be involved in. In fact, there's a good possibility that even more of my students will participate in 2019... the entire Musical Festival was a booming success and I wanted to again thank you and your staff for all the hard efforts that went into putting this event together. With sincere and best regards, Arlene Mac Kinnon Our Favorite Festival '17 Testimonial - My daughter participated in the MAMTG... While she did not win anything we felt the feedback from the judges was invaluable. I was wondering if it is possible that we could have the judges information... She was in musical theater showcase. ...I was hoping to schedule an evaluation or possibly lessons. Thank you... - Lisa P.
