We want to personally thank you and your staff at Music Celebrations for providing a most memorable trip to France for the orchestra and choir at Valley High School. Since our initial contact last winter, the staff at MCI, especially Shari Richards, has worked diligently and with the utmost professionalism during the long months of planning. Shari did an outstanding job of answering all inquiries and working with our parent coordinator. Every question was answered within one day and all of our concerns were addressed. We felt most comfortable with all of the arrangements that Shari, Dan Schwartz and others made on our behalf. Please share our gratitude with them. Without their help, this trip would not have been so successful.

We were also blessed to have outstanding tour managers. Mary Agnes, Patrick & Francoise were so easy to work with. Their combined knowledge and talents made everything easy. They were always very accessible, ready with suggestions, and eager to please all members of our group. This was my third tour with MCI and I must say that the tour managers on this trip were, by far, the very best! I thank you for taking care in selecting them for our group.

The venues for our performances were also remarkable. All of the students and parent chaperones were thrilled to perform in each location. The ambiance of each performing space added a special excitement to all of our performances. The students really played their best to fill such beautiful churches.

Please share our gratitude with all of the staff at MCI. This has truly been an experience that will live on in the hearts and minds of our students and chaperones.

Sincerely Yours,

Phil Peters, Orchestra Director
Linda Vanderpool, Choir Director
