Thank you for a great tour and especially for organizing the festival. Hearing the symphony on Thursday night and then performing in that same hall was a thrill. My students had a fantastic time and I’m sure will always remember the Chicago tour and the adventures of each day. They wish they were still there (instead of back here catching up on homework). We sneaked in and out with just the right weather, too, in between cold fronts. And they got to see it snow one day, so that was perfect. Perhaps we can do something like that again, four years from now. Thank you for all of your efforts, especially some of the measures you took to customize our trip and to help make it more affordable for our families.
