"Thank you so much for a wonderful and inspiring day. We had no idea our children would take to singing so enthusiastically, and it's amazing what you managed to get from them." - LV, Southampton
"I wish I had the same remote control for the kids that you do. I can't believe how calm they are!" - JL, Bromsgrove
"I've always been described as tone deaf, but I really enjoyed the day, and it turned out to be more fun as a team-building activity than go-karting or rafting!" - RC, Norwich
