• "I was thrilled with the Chicago Classic Brass performance and presentation! They not only held the student's interest, but played high quality music well. The timing was perfect. They were entertaining and spoke well to the children without speaking down to them. Thanks for providing quality programs here."
• "I enjoyed Chicago Classic Brass thoroughly. Since I teach 5th Grade, many of my students are involved in band/cadet band. As I watched my children, they seemed to appreciate this concert also. It was very appropriate to show the students how the instruments worked. The horn especially, got their attention. Since Mrs. Brostoff also teaches themes in music, I believe this cultural event was a very good experience...."
• "Great job. The children really got a lot out of it."
