Thank you for providing another wonderful experience for our 5th graders. In our rural community, this will probably be the only opportunity students will take to attend a classical orchestra. The teacher's packet was extremely helpful for me to be able to prep them on what they will hear. I surveyed the teachers and students who attended. I heard comments like: "best year yet" (from a veteran teacher who has attended them for years), the theme was engaging including on-stage visuals, the narrator was incredible, etc. Thank you ISO!

Great theme, song selections, and performances! The conductor was brilliant and warm, and the host was funny and lighthearted - both connected very well with the audience! Educational packets were an engaging supplement to the music; the staff provided a smooth check in and out process. This program gives children the unique opportunity to have a positive and memorable first-time symphony experience!
