Dear Michael,

   The feedback from our audiences following the Dallas Brass performances at the Lincoln Center on February 11 through the 14th was incredible!  We have received more positive comments for the Dallas Brass than for any other production in recent memory!  Not only did Lincoln Center receive letters and phone calls, but there were also several letters to the editor of the local paper, and indeed an editorial giving us a "thumbs-up" for bringing the Dallas Brass into our community.

   Your program appeals to such a wide audience that we weren't at all hesitant to present you on our Showstopper Series, which has a season subscription base of over 4,000 subscribers who buy the series for the Broadway Shows and for big name performers.  Most of them had no idea who or what the Dallas Brass was all about!

   The schools are still raving about the master classes and the impact that the classes had on students.  And when the doors to the theatre opened and over 100 band students came marching down the aisle as part of your finale, the audience went wild and we had three standing ovations each night.  This was just one of the many highlights of the evening.

   Thanks to you and the entire Dallas Brass for providing our audiences with an unforgettable evening.  Please don't hesitate to use me as a reference should you need one.

Sincerely,

David T. Siever
