I can tell the Forum team is passionate about providing a positive experience for music ensembles and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to bring my students.
Everything was well-organized and made for a smooth and enjoyable trip for your string orchestra. The itinerary was easy to follow and all the details—like the hotel, theme park, and meals—were taken care of in advance. It’s wonderful that it all came together for a memorable experience.
Forum is always so organized and makes traveling easy because you know once you arrive everything will flow smoothly.
Great experience beginning to end!
This is the best Festival! So organized and student friendly.
Very well planned and everyone is helpful and kind, kids had a great experience
It was well-organized and really easy for us! Kids had fun!
Your team ALWAYS exceeds expectations, and for truly the best price on the market! Great people to work with, knowledgeable and helpful, and all of the events went flawlessly!
Over the last three years we have had nothing but a great time. Our experience has been both educational and fun!
This was a very organized festival from beginning to end. Great performance venue. More schools need to attend this festival. It’s great to sit and hear other choirs and to have the awards ceremony immediately afterwards allowed our students to enjoy the entire day at the park without interruption.
I feel the recordings and judges comments are very helpful in our group’s growth. They help reinforce ideas and skills the students are learning.
The festival adjudicators give great and fair feedback, the festival is well organized, communication is top notch, and the pricing is fair.
I love the Forum Festival because the adjudicators are encouraging as well as being good at giving critical feedback.
The Festival allowed us to hear other groups as well as perform on stage for experienced judges.
The quality and approach of the adjudicators was extremely high. I especially appreciated their enthusiasm and the organic nature of their commentary approach. They felt both real and approachable…they adjudicated what was there, not what they thought should be there. Super great!
Such a positive experience and comfortable atmosphere for our students to be part of! We had such a fun time and will be back next year. Thank you!
The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The hotel chosen for us was fantastic and the kids loved their experience there. Their suggested restaurants were delicious and very accommodating.
Event was scheduled exceedingly well, staff was welcoming and friendly, and the event went smoothly…Absolutely fantastic!
The Forum office team is incredible. Myself and my booster board extremely appreciated the thoughtfulness, timeliness and helpfulness throughout the entire process. Bravo and thank you.
