hall; it had a good acoustics, and very good crowds.”

good care of us, and helped us with any little problem. They were
Fantastic!!!”

enjoyed it and I think CACBC did an awesome job. Thank You!”

“We were treated very well. People were friendly and
eager to help. I am extremely glad I came and had this opportunity.
I had
a wonderful time, and no regrets. I’d like to especially thank Jin
(tour guide) for being an incredible tour guide, as he went out of his
way to make the trip even more enjoyable in every way – everything from
directions around China to teaching us Chinese to getting a Tianjin
Pancake. I’ve enjoyed every day of this trip, and should I have the
opportunity to bring an orchestra of my own to China, I would do it in a
heartbeat. Thank You!!”
