talented ensembles perform from around the country. Your participation in this music festival is a
significant honor that is celebrated by your community and those that enjoy your music.
As someone who studied the cello in high school, I recognize the hard work and dedication that

It is my sincere pleasure to welcome each of you to Indiana, host of the 2008 Music for All
National Festival. During your stay, I hope you will explore our capital city’s many attractions
as well as experience firsthand one of Indiana’s greatest charms, our Hoosier hospitality.
Congratulations to all of the ensembles who will be participating and performing in this
weekend’s event. I commend you on the hard work and dedication it took to get this far. I also
want to recognize the essential role played by the families, teachers and friends who helped
make these accomplishments possible. I applaud them for providing the encouragement and
guidance that has fostered your growth both as an individual and a musician.
Congratulations once again, and good luck to all the musicians. Susan joins me in wishing you
all continued success.
Sincerely,
