Just a few comments from past participants:
"Thank you and the entire FAME staff SO much for a wonderful experience at FAME Orlando. My kids had an incredible experience. The hotel was fantastic, the venue is spectacular, honestly, at every turn it was simply a top-notch experience for my students. It was the toughest line-up of groups we have ever faced and though we came in 5th, you'd think my kids won it all with how excited they are and how much "buzz" is running among the kids. Thanks you so much! All my best"
- Connie Galli Shepherd Hill High School, Dudley, MA
"I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all you do! You have an amazing program! My students had a wonderful time at the beech and Disney parks! The highlight for all was working and performing at the competition on Saturday! Performing at Disney World was also a great experience! You do a spectacular job under stressful conditions! Thanks to Chad for plugging Viterbo University! That means a lot to our administration. Congratulations for running the best show choir competition in the country!"
-Nancy Allen, director at Viterbo University
"What an incredible event Fame Orlando was. We have traveled with our group for four years now, even attending another Fame event, and yet somehow we were blown away this year as it seems you guys raised the bar yet again. What a great venue! It of course doesn't hurt that our kids won, but honestly that aside, this was hands down the best experience we've had in four years of attending show choir competitions. From Universal Studios and the incredible Hard Rock Live, the staff backstage and all around the venue, the judges, the emcee (who or kids call the Ryan Seacrest guy!) the awards, just WOW, WOW, WOW! This was our last high school competition and we couldn't have ask for a better experience! Thank you!"
- Nancy Finley, Ankeny, IA
"Thanks for an incredible weekend! It was a great event"
- Doran Johnson, Amazing Technicolor Show Choir, Omaha, NE
"I've adjudicated at several Fame Events in the past and have always enjoyed the attention to detail, professionalism, and quality of the event, however, this weekend was yet again another step up for Fame. I have to say, the iPad scoring system is truly revolutionary. Brilliant even. Moreover, I truly love and appreciate that you clearly communicate your expectations of us as judges, and have us sign your "fairness in adjudication" contract. Just one more way Fame is truly an innovator in the industry. You guys always do it right, and I for one truly appreciate that!"
- Kevin Breazeale, adjudicator, Hattiesburg, MS
