I want to express how proud I am of Eugene, Leon, Patrick, Linda, and Vishank for participating in the American Fine Arts Festival 2008 Competition. The competition was exceptionally difficult, with over 600 participants. All five of my students were selected by the judges as winners and have been invited to perform in New York City. Congratulations to you all for your hard work and for doing such a great job!
