What they said....
"Best first-time show award" - Chapter XII TOB Coordinator
" This is what I had always envisioned for this stadium...using it for events such as this" - Mayor Paul Fraim
"As I am sitting here, I can't stop thinking about what a fabulous time I had at
the competition today. You and your band parents should feel proud of what was
accomplished today. I know that based on what I saw, next year's classic will
draw from an even larger region.
The Comet Classic could become one of the premiere events on the east coast." -
Local Band Director
"Congratulations on the success of the first annual Comet Classic. I know it was tremendous work but it seemed to come off without a hitch..... It was so organized and smoothly run. I was very impressed....as was the mayor. He spoke to me at length about how the event came to be and he spoke with your Band Parent's Association President about her work with the event. He was particularly pleased to be "showing off" our new stadium to bands from other cities." - NPS Senior Coordinator of Music
