It is great to see the pictures and, congratulations on maintaining your quality and excellence with all of your groups. Coeur D'Alene, Idaho has many classical, quality performances through the year. We would love to see you come up here (and in Spokane, WA) to share your dynamic groups. Such a wonderful pleasure to have been a part of SMS and to have sung and learned under your superb direction. (A loyal fan) Donna (Holden) Gleaves. donnagleaves 2011-11-07T17:28:24Z
