    ]]>     « It was the BEST show to have come into our school in all my years here.  A sentiment also shared by many of my colleagues. They way in which the group told the story of how music has evolved over time, was both clever and entertaining. Using comedy to captured the attention of your audience was a perfect way to keep the students on message and entertained.  I also liked how during the Question period, you talked and featured the brass instruments. The group needs to be complimented not only for their artistic and musical talents, but also for the manner in which they easily connected with students. It’s a few hours now after your performance, and the students are still “BUZZING” about BuzzBrass.
