What Presenters Are Saying
“Our audience just had a blast! Everyone wanted you to keep playing, and that's ALWAYS what we want!”
— Performance & Engagement Manager
Saugatuck Center for the Arts
“The Arts and Lectures Committee at Ferris State brought the Kanola Band to campus for a public performance and it was wonderful! Great band, playing fun and lively music! The night was entertaining, and they did great job engaging the crowd. Talented musicians, great chops, and beautiful vocals. The audience, ranging from college students, to senior citizens, all enjoyed the performance and left impressed!
— Live Performance Coordinator
Ferris State University
“We have received so much positive feedback from both performances. It was fantastic to see the audience at both concerts – especially when the weather conditions aren’t ideal. Your group was great and kept the audience engaged the whole time!”
