I just wanted to let you know that I greatly appreciated your being willing to share your time and expertise with the kids here at Paul V. Moore High School.  I appreciate that you would spend time with them as you did over the two-day festival here.  Our students were able to take much away from the festival this year that will hopefully impact them for the rest of their lives both musically, as well as in their own memories.  To have the opportunity to have the composer of the music that they are performing right in front of them took this year's festival to a higher level.  Thanks again for investing your time and talents in our students.  Their lives are richer because you were here.
