for "A World of Music"

... the concert audience had a truly enjoyable time, not only delighting in the program but in the exquisite talent with which it was performed! Your participation in our concert program has enriched our 2002-2003 season!"

Sue Pice, Executive Director, North Central Arkansas Foundation for The Arts and Education

"I am writing to recommend Toucan Jam to other audiences such as ours. The children in our elementary school could not have enjoyed them more. I found them easy to communicate with during the booking process, relaxed about the payment process, and very personable people as well. They traveled very early in the morning in order to arrive at school in time to see our Morning Assembly, spent time getting to know the make-up of the student body, and showed a real interest in the children. Their show was first-rate, using instruments, songs, costumes and dance to express the wonderful diversity of our world. There is nothing about the show that I would want to see different. As they were ready to leave, they expressed a genuine desire to return someday. I believe that a real connection between our children and the members of Toucan Jam had happened in that short time.

In brief, I would recommend Toucan Jam to almost any audience. The time they spent here was very pleasurable for all of us."

Richard S. Foti, Ed. D. - Trusty Elementary, Ft. Smith, AR

"My opinion is that TOUCAN JAM was the most popular program of our season. It was my personal favorite since it so effectively combined both education and entertainment. The costumes gave it visual appeal, while the songs, stories and narration were stimulating."

Hal Hubener, Director Monroe Regional Library, Helena, AR

"I just wanted to send a note to thank you for the wonderful performances you provided for the kids in Elkins and Prairie Grove last week. The warmth and excitement you bring with you are contagious! It is such a pleasure to watch the kids completely captivated by your stories and songs. I hope that we will have a chance to use you again in future programs. Best of luck on all the projects you undertake. I think you are performing a great service to our community by bringing folk tales and music to our kids."

Sherry Rogers, Washington County Library System

"Just to let you know how talented, entertaining and informative Kelly Mulhollan and Donna Henschell were in Brookland, April 15th. Several teachers commented on their wonderful teaching methods! I look forward to having them again."
