Good Morning,

Long but worth it!

I thought you might be interested in some comments and quotes from the students
you sent to the Harmony Explosion Camp this year.

You might even print them out an use them in your contacts with your local music
educators.

The first ones are comments from the evaluation we have the campers fill out:

I had a great time and learned more about barbershop theory than I knew
Very well thought of for a camp. Should continue at this neutral location for

Sam and Main Street Station have been absolutely amazing both years I've been
hear. Thank You!
Having a teaching quartet really helped. They all had unique advice.
I liked learning new techniques when it came to singing barbershop music. I will
definitely use these styles for solo ensemble.
I love this camp, can't wait to come back next year.

Additional comments and Thank you notes:

I've been to many one day workshops and none of them compare to this. It was my
first year here and I had a great time.

I would like to thank you for inviting me to be a part of this experience. You
have really opened a new world of Barbershop music before my eyes.

Thank You. I had a lot of fun and learned a lot about singing. I plan to join
barbershop and sing with my Grandpa in the Winona chapter. Thank you for making
me a better singer.

Sam, You were really, really fun! I love your style and attitude.

Main Street Station Wagon (Sam singing Bari from Band Wagon) you were always
upbeat and energetic and it was a pleasure to listen and work with you.

Sam, you make it fun and easy to work with. Good music selection.

Thanks a lot. This weekend was great fun

Thank you Thursday Lunch Bunch

Thanks for every thing, I had a lots of fun. Possibly the best time. Can't wait
till next year.

I got to have a great experience with music.

Thank you for everything. You are doing a great thing.

These are only some of the many comments and thank you notes from the camp. I'll
be sending a thank you to all the campers and if it turns out a cd of the
performance. I'll send one to each chapter, group and individuals that provided
scholarships also.

We have a camp students want to come back to. That tells me we have something to
offer them they are not getting else where. Keep up the good work and lets build
on our successes.

Thanks again for all your support!
