"We truly enjoyed your performance! It was so good for our whole community. The staff had nothing but awesome things to say such as, 'That was the best performing school group we have ever had!' Thanks for engaging our students and enhancing the Arts Education program in our school. Keep up the great work, and thanks for sharing your gifts and talents!"
- Brian Boutin, École Française de Saskatoon "Your group was a wonderful ending to the show! Many were commenting on the fact that they couldn't believe the students were in elementary school. You do amazing things! I'm glad you could be part of our day!" - Krysta Grieve, Miller Comprehensive High School "Thank you for coming to our school and sharing with our students! It was a wonderful afternoon of drumming. Our students were amazed by your drummers' talent! Thank you again." - Marilyn Pavier, William Grayson School "Thank you so much for including Muenster in your tour plans! The entire school truly enjoyed the performance. Your students are seasoned performers and really entertained us. Everyone was talking about the concert throughout the rest of the day. Your students certainly made our day!" - Paul Reist "I wanted to pass on to Mrs. Hinz and Umoja some very positive feedback I recently received. Elsie Mironuck was at an event for retired educators where Umoja performed and she was so pleased! She said it was one of the most professional and enjoyable performances she had attended. If she was praising the performance, she had to be tremendously impressed, so much so that I thought I should pass it forward! Congrats!" - Candace Fischer "We were all very happy to have you and Umoja! We have heard a lot of positive feedback about your performance from our staff and guests. I am so happy to hear you all had fun! Hopefully we can find another way to work with you again in the future! Thank you again." - Megan McCormick "Thank you, Marlene and Angela, for all your musical talent this year! Carter will miss it!" - Nicole Krasiun |
"It was so good to have Umoja come and perform at our annual fundraising event in Regina! The audience really enjoyed the performance. I hope and pray that you will be open to coming to our next fundraising event in April! Have a wonderful week and God bless."
- Simon Sichangwa, Brother's Keeper Ministries "We loved your performance! All the teachers thought you did a wonderful job and would like to see Umoja back at Georges Vanier another year. Thanks so much and keep us in mind if you are doing another Saskatoon tour! Your energy was amazing!" - Margit Oullette, Georges Vanier School "Thank you all for coming out and performing! We love having Umoja and you always do such a great job! The crowd loved it and we have heard nothing but great things!" - Shelly Hill, Regina Open Door Society "I want to thank you for making Saturday an extremely special day! It was the best representation we have had of young talent in music and dance. The packed house all day illustrated that this was supported by festival participants as well! We had great crowds and exceptional artistic experiences by all involved. You are all very special people with a gift for helping young people experience the joy and sharing of creativity. I thank you and hope to see you at future festivals!" - Joanne Crofford "A huge thank you to Mrs. Hinz for being our fearless leader!

Our children are truly the beneficiaries!" - Patrick Donohue "Thank you for your hard work with these students! Jack MacKenzie school is lucky to have you and your talent.
