here are some recent comments we've received:

"I just wanted you to know that my in-laws enjoyed attending the Friday Steel Drum Band VIP event and dress rehearsal very much, even with all the change in plans that evening.   Thank you for offering such a unique opportunity!  But as much as they enjoyed the rehearsal, it was nothing compared to their delight at the concert.   My mother-in-law, who often gets dragged to musical events she does not enjoy said it was the best concert she had ever seen.   She did not grow up with music and concerts in her life, so that was a big compliment indeed!  My family and I will be actively looking forward to other opportunities to hear this unique Northeastern Ohio gem of a group - and enjoying the pan we got "for the kids" for Christmas in the meantime!  Thanks again for your role in bringing this music to Ohio."

"I had wanted to come to this concert for years but could never get my husband or friends interested in coming with me.  Well, I finally was able to convince them to come and they are "sold".  It was so much fun and we are all looking forward to attending future concerts."
