"The band is terrific! The fact that it is a volunteer band says so much because you can tell they love that they do. They are all very professional."

"They always play such wonderful music! It doesn't matter what age or how agile you are, you want to up and dance when you hear this band! "
Delores Irvin, 2008
"We were thrilled with your performance! We have had so many compliments. I heard more than one person say that this was the best event we’ve ever had! We had a call from someone in Pelahatchie who said her family drove all the way to Flowood to hear the band. She added that “the concert was the best thing they have been able to attend since they moved to Mississippi!” We had a Rotary meeting today and one of the members who attended told me he thought the band was “fantastic!” He wanted to know how I found out about your group and how he might contact you. Several parents commented that their families – children included - were totally absorbed with the music. Many others have taken time to thank us for a wonderful evening. I called my boss at Central MS Regional Library System Headquarters on Friday and told her how successful our event was. They were pleased as well. It was the largest crowd we’ve had for an adult program, so that should be an indication of how excited everyone was. I think next year we may have to clear a dance floor, because many mentioned that they wanted to get up and dance! I simply can’t say enough about how much everyone enjoyed your being here. It really was a perfect way to “swing into the holidays.” The selections were wonderful. I look forward to having you all come back and hope you will consider coming again."
