“A fantastic festival that is well run by incredible people. The opportunity to perform, listen to other ensembles, and receive clinic from world class musicians has quickly become a yearly highlight for my program.”

— Dustin McKinney, Kearney High School, Kearney, MO

“The M•PACT Vocal Festival is such a great kick-off to our jazz season! The clinic with the amazing musicians of M•PACT meets our students with encouragement where they are, and inspires them to employ techniques to take their music making to the next level. This is a festival that supports all groups of all abilities.”

— Heather Nail, Valley High School, W. Des Moines, IA

“Our experience at the M•PACT Festival could not have been better. Definitely make plans to participate in this festival if you can. You will be glad you did!”

— Wendy Jones, Western Carolina University, Cullowhee, NC

“Their demonstration of the techniques are obviously at a level of mastery; but their ability to teach others to do that which they do makes this Festival an inspiring, motivating, and potentially life changing event for our vocal students.”
