  • we are proud of louisville

  • Amazing & magical! :D

  • Saw them on HBO. Diane Downs is a rare treasure !

  • what this acomplishes is to let kids work towards something that actually gives them a real result. School for kids is a world of doing a lot of things that make no sense and give no palpable results. This kind of thing is very positive because after performing you actually see the fruits of your work and discipline and thus you get a glimpse of the way the real world works in adult life, unlike regular school which is pretty much useless IMO

  • I have seen and heard these wonderful kids twice now. They are absolutely fantastic. If you ever get the chance, go see and listen to them, you won't be disappointed, I promise.

  • Has Diane Downs won any Teaching Awards? She's amazing. I'm just in absolute awe of her and these kids.

  • It is different when you see them...rather transcendent! It's visually and aurally freeing. Take a look at the audience at one of their gigs, everybody keeps smiling ear to ear throughout the whole performance. This is a wonderful thing. Makes you think anything is possible in life. So kudos to everyone ever involved with the Leopards. I will always tell people about them. Keep on, keepin' on! 5*****'s

  • My daughter is in this group. The kids have no formal musical training. It's Diane who enables them to be musicians.

  • What an amazing group of talented kids. Inspirational. Wow! The Louisville Leopards are magical. It was neat to see Dan Dorff in action teaching the kids. Great stuff!

  • They are better than a couple of college groups I've heard!
