California’s Young Performing Ambassadors Galena Street East, a specialty group of singers and dancers, recently returned from performing and touring China in the 2008 Pre-Olympic Music Festival - part of the annual American Celebration of Music in China. The following is what Jeri Clinger, Artistic Director, had to say about their experience:

Our performing tour of China was amazing. It surpassed all of our expectations. We have made life long friends with Sheldon Poon. He is an incredible individual!!!! He has so many stories and information to give, which he did so freely. He promised to come to California to see the Christmas show and also the Nutcracker Ballet who your company sent to China. I attribute a large part of success for tour to him.

Our tour guides, and Master drivers were perfect. Patrick and Brian, from your China MCI office were with us part of the time and were so helpful. The performances were a tremendous success and we loved meeting, eating and performing with all of our new Chinese friends. We will certainly be returning to China!!!

We thank your wonderful staff, Taylor, Luke, and Edmundo, for all of their time and effort in our behalf. We will recommend MCI to all of our directors that we work with.

Our accommodations were wonderful and we never stopped eating great food. Some our kids were told to take power bars with them in case they did not like the food but they never even opened them.

Everywhere we went we felt like celebrities. Our audiences seem to like us as well as we did them. Thanks again….and all I can say is what is next???

Sincerely,
Jeri Clinger
Director of Galena Street East
