Dear Mr. Levine:

I would like to thank you and the Dallas Brass for presenting your "Music in the Schools Project" for the Burke County Public Schools.  The concert and your work with our students was excellent.

It was rewarding to see your group take the time to work individually with our students.  Those who worked with you were very appreciative of what you shared with them.  I can truly say that their idea of performing has been impacted forever.  For many of our students, the opportunity to play on stage with your group is one of the highlights of their life.

Again, thank you for caring about our young people and making yourself available to them.  I with you continued success in your efforts.  If you make a difference in the life of only one student, your work will not be in vain.

Sincerely yours,

David Burleson
Superintendent
