I wasn't able to make it to the grand concert ( :( ), but the daytime portion of the program was excellent. The MSU students all did a terrific job and those who participated in the master class responded well to Mr. Thurman's advice. Hearing/watching him teach was worth the trip alone... as was Matt Brown's performance, which was absolutely beautiful.

Nice job Jason (and students)!
