This is a fantastic opportunity for the students and always has been! Absolutely the best experience for these young musicians!

-Richard Sanger, Director of Bands, Longfellow Middle School

The pros were awesome!

-Lindsay, student at Avalon MS

It was an educational and inspirational session. My students are definitely sounding better now that they have heard how the music could and should be played. George established a great connection and professional atmosphere.

-Judy Einuis, Director of Bands, Robinson Secondary School

Listening to the professionals, I finally learned what I was supposed to sound like.

-8th grade student at George Washington MS

This was not only a great educational experience for the students, but also a fun one! The students are talking a lot about what they learned and what they can do now to become better. George Etheridge and his group are wonderful! Watching the faces of the students as your pros played their parts was something I'll remember for a long time. The students couldn't believe that 17 pros made a bigger, better sound than the 65 members in their band. I learned many things, too, which will of course help this group and the other 120+ band students.

-Sharon Bonneau, Director of Bands, Herndon Middle School

My favorite part was how Mr. Etheridge explained that music has to feel like it's going somewhere, like it has direction. Then he had the professionals play without direction and again with direction to show us the difference."

-Kristina, student at Avalon MS

We should definitely do this again next year!"
