“Today I received a phone call from the Vice President of Student Activities at Southern Utah University, asking me about the band I brought in for the SUU Winter Formal. Your band (the Utah Swing Orchestra) did an amazing job, and our committee was more than pleased with how your band played, the selection of music and the level of professionalism that your band members showed. Thank you again. I know that SUU is planning on bringing you back and I would recommend you to anyone. Thank you!”
