Congratulations! Last night’s concert was a triumph! Thank you for all that you did to ensure that the children performed so well and enjoyed their music so much! It was wonderful to see, and hear, such a large and appreciative audience and the sense of achievement that the children will have from performing so well and receiving so much applause will stay with them for a long time! It really was an excellent evening.
Seeing Grace being part of such a rewarding adventure and worthwhile enterprise was truly heart-warming; seeing how the band developed so quickly from painful practice to polished performance was quite amazing, and a real testament of your skills.
I am writing this, as I would just like to say a massive big thank you to you as you have been totally amazing to me over the last few years. If it wasn’t for the encouragement and hard work you put into me I don’t think I will be here now. As you know I got a full music scholarship into the Purcell School and I am totally excited beyond belief. Thank you, thank you, thank you and thank you a million times for everything. You are totally amazing at what you do and making us happy through music.
Many congratulations on producing such a wonderful concert. I really wasn’t sure what to expect but I was overwhelmed by the whole event. I think these children are exceptionally fortunate to take part in a band of this calibre.
If my eleven year old can do this, he can do anything.
A huge congratulations to you all for a wonderful, well presented and musical performance at the Royal Festival Hall. James, Mark Mondesir, Mark Hodgson and I were all impressed and very proud of the way you all conducted yourselves. Most of all you made the music sing! Congratulations to you all on a job well done and I look forward to working with you all again very soon.
