Loved Carnival - such a great atmosphere and well run weekend! We had an amazing weekend, our families were happy, and we're super impressed with the comp and the venue. We'll definitely be back with more entries in the future!
I just wanted to say how well run this competition was, we had such a great day. All the staff were so friendly, the adjudicator was absolutely amazing, with fantastically detailed feedback, and the whole day had a really positive vibe. Thank you so much, we look forward to the 2026 season.
Can you please pass on to who ever this needs to go to.. I just want to absolutely applaud and THANK and commend and what ever other words I can use than mean the same thing, the host you had back stage today at Carnival. He was absolutely amazing. So calm, kind and fun, he was so much help and nothing was too much trouble for him. I've been at comps all year and I can honestly say he was by far the best vibe side stage all year. He deserves a massive pat on the back.
Thank you for a wonderful competition last weekend. My daughter performed her first classical solo and it was a fantastic and supportive experience. She won 2nd place which has given her so much confidence and she adores her beautiful medal!
I can only imagine the effort and planning that goes into making these competitions a success. A big thank you to you and your team for everything that you did in planning and executing a fabulous day.
