“Thank you for that wounderful performance. I’ve been thinking about starting band and that realy helped me dicide. Please tell your friends in the band, thank you!” — J.K.

“I thought that the music was really enjoyable. The part that I enjoyed most about the concert was when they played the Simpsons. It was great to learn about all of the different instruments and thier sounds. One thing that could have been better would have been if there was more music that kids knew and listened to. Other than that, the concert and music was excellent.”

“I liked when you played the Simpsons for us like you did three years ago. Next year you should play Mission Impossible!”

“I liked how you explained all of the songs and instruments to us and your brother was really good. You are a great duet! The Wizard of Oz was a great piece. It was just the right touch to your musical masterpieces! The Simpsons song was a great hit! I’m a big fan...man!”

“I thought the music was very good, but I don’t usually listen to that kind of music. The music made me feel happy. The one thing I would change about the music would be the way they sat because I couldn’t see all of there faces. I would not like to perform a musical instrument on stage. I’m not exactly a musical person. But, overall I think all did well.”

“I liked this concert. It had very good music but my favorite was the Wizard of Oz. You have to have guts and talent to get up in front of a whole bunch of people and play music. I am pretty sure most people have a lot of respect for you. I would like to play the piano or violin some when I get a chance but I probably wouldn’t play in front of people unless I was teaching them. I think that next year you should get more involved with the audience (volentars). Thank you for taking the time to play for us.”

“I thought the music was very fun, and I loved everyone’s expressions when they were playing. The music made me feel very excited and yes, happy. The Wizard of Oz made me think back of when I was in 5th grade when we did our play of the Wizard of Oz! There was nothing I did not like. If I could I would play the guitar. Everyone did a great job. I even learned three new things about the instruments! Thank you, please come again!” — L.H.

“Dear OICMF, I really enjoyed going to Orcas Center to listen to your presentation. I loved hearing the mussic and explanations of how the instruments work. The interactiveness and having the picture taken was a great way to have fun. Also, playing the Simpsons was really cool! Thanks SO much for inviting my class!” — M.M.H.

“Dear OICMF, I loved the concert. If you eaver need an 11 year old girl to play piano, please tell me.” — G.J.

“Dear OICMF, thank you for that musical preformence. The Simpsons them song with the violins and piano was hilareas. Although I may not play an instrument sumday I hope it will inspier others to play.” — M.

“Thank you for performing for us. I liked the Simpsons and I enjoyed how you threw in some comedy. I’m going to play clarinet this year!” — C.

“I had a grate time watching but a bad time siting. My farouit was the Simpsons and the Wizzerd of Oz. I want to play piano. I don’t know if I can yet. Well you have a lot of letters to read so I’ll make this one short.” — C.T.

“Dear OICMF, thank you for the performance. I liked the music. It made me want to dance. I liked it when you gave us a demonstration of the instruments sound and history. The music you chose was nice. I had lots of fun listining to the jazz. The clarinet was beautiful.” — S.T.
