Fantastic.

I will keep these kids in mind for a movie score.

You all made me cry. I particularly identified with David Sam who was probably a skeptic right up until he hear the notes of his work being performed--and that little smile of being pleased pin-pointed the moment he was no longer a skeptic. You go you guys!

I am so proud of our young people for taking a risk and creating their own music. The pride and smiles on their faces are priceless! Miigwech to all those who supported them.
