The tour has made a lifelong impression on our students in numerous ways, many of which may not surface for years to come. Our students shared their music, their culture, and their friendship in a manner that reflects very positively on our school, community, and nation. Each night we discovered that there were Chinese officials and music directors in the audience that had come to specifically hear the band from the United States. (The) administrators were very impressed with everything on the tour and felt it was one of the greatest experiences we could ever have given our students.
