Our trip was FANTASTIC! Our organizers were responsive to all our requests, and created the exact experience we were wanting, and MORE! Wonderful Broadway shows, engaging workshops with industry professionals, interesting tours, and delicious, authentic dining experiences. Our tour guides were amazing! Full of pertinent local information, flexible and so helpful! From check-in at the hotel, to dealing with weather issues, they were invaluable! Well done – we enjoyed the trip so much – many, many amazing memories!
This was my first event booked with the company and I was very impressed with the options for my students, the on-going communication, and the very efficient schedule for the performance event. We will definitely look to American Classic for future performance experiences.
Many thanks!
What a joy and honor to adjudicate 29 high school choirs with the incredible conductors Rick Bjella and Charlotte Botha. Congratulations to ALL amazing choirs and directors. Many thanks to the tireless team of adult and student workers. I feel grateful for the opportunity to meet good people and work together. It is all possible through our love for choral music education.
I am constantly recommending Madfest to my colleagues. Next year, every high school in our district plans to take an ensemble! Thank you for providing a challenging yet safe space for our student musicians to improve themselves as they encourage and learn from other students and their directors.
What was initially an intimidating trip for both directors and parents ended up being one of the best school trips we have ever had. We had the perfect, well-crafted tour for our students and chaperones that allowed us to be safe, punctual, and fully satisfied. I will fully advocate our positive experience with American Classic to friends and colleagues.
Thanks for an amazing experience. Your team was available to guide us through the process. Everything was done in excellence. Parker did extremely well in the contest and will return next year.
Thank you, American Classic for another incredible experience. The space, the music, and the camaraderie at Celebration of Excellence is second to none. We at Lake Creek are thankful for the environment you’ve created, built around support and encouragement in the contest setting. We’re already looking forward to next year! Thank you again.
The tour was expertly crafted as always, and the tour guides executed our itinerary flawlessly. The three concerts we gave took place at beautiful, historic venues and were well-advertised and well-attended. Such a smooth, easy, enjoyable experience from start to finish.
My students had a wonderful time in San Antonio and the competition aspect pushed them to be a better ensemble. We were welcomed at every step of the way by directors, students, event organizers, and workers. Overall, it was an extremely positive experience. Thank you!
American Classic Music Festivals really has the best interest and the best experiences for all groups! High-quality service, the staff is very helpful on-site, and a great adjudication! My students had a fantastic experience performing at the UNT Murchison Performing Arts Center! Will definitely be back next year!
We have already gotten another Creek school to attend this contest next year. The students in the room make the experience. Getting to perform for our friends and to experience their art as well is invaluable. We got to enjoy and learn. It’s similar to attending a masterclass for both the choir and the directors.
Overall, the trip was outstanding. I felt that my tour account executive and the tour guide listened to my requests and concerns and always responded professionally and with a sense of humor. We were taken care of. I will use American Classic/Gerber for future trips.
The staff at American Classic makes all of our experiences memorable! I will continue to sing the praises of the American Classic staff. You are top notch!
In June we completed a fantastic tour to Ireland. Every detail was in place and the opportunities provided for our students were top notch. Our tour guide was amazing and so informative. Since I became the head director in 2011, we have gone to Peru, Italy (twice), and Washington, DC. Thank you for another great trip. We are looking forward to our next one in 2026.
Incredibly friendly and responsive staff! It was an amazing trip that created lifelong memories. Everything was easy, from parking to getting into the sites. Our guide was incredibly accommodating and thought about every last detail. I loved working with this company. You made it easy to have a fantastic trip!
I continue to recommend this event to choir directors throughout the state. These festivals will energize, inspire, and invigorate your choir program. Highly recommended!
Our tour account executive was incredible in helping us organize the trip. At the site, everyone helped and guided us around the wonderful facilities. Adjudicators gave great comments and advice. This is our 5th year traveling and we will continue to sign up. The site staff is charming and wonderfully helpful.
Thank you American Classic Tours & Music Festivals for helping me create a memorable trip. EVERYTHING (hotel, air, tour guides, meals, show tickets, museum tickets, airport transfers, activities) was top notch! Our tour guides were so knowledgeable and somehow made navigating the city with 68 people easy! My students and I will carry so many fabulous memories from this trip forever! So much fun!
The Meyerson was INCREDIBLE!!! What a special experience and memory for my students and for me!! You’ll be hearing from me again about next year’s trip!
