* Because of the difference in level between the choirs, it was decided
to divide the choirs in group A (classical repertoire) and B
(popular repertoire).
Some responses we received after the festival ...
Dear
Friends of everywhere,
We
had the pleasure and the privileges to spend these three days in the middle of
such special people, that is able to offer such a special festival, where
we all speak the same language: that of music. We highly appreciate your care
of perfection and your willingness to make people happy.
May
your festival long last for the benefit of children all over the world. The
joy and happiness we have found here, at (your) home, made us feel that
the future European family was, is and will be possible.
Thanks
to Marlies and Bernard, our angel-guardians,
Thanks
to Karin, for her special kindness and professionalism.
Thanks
to the "army in blue"
Thanks
to Veldhoven, from the bottom of our souls
We
can't say "goodbye", because it's just a "see you later"!

Ik
wou nog even reageren naar aanleiding van het korenfestival. Iedereen van
Jocanto is namelijk ontzettend enthousiast en het was weer erg goed
georganiseerd. En dan hebben we ook nog een goede waardering gekregen!
Daarom wil ik iedereen bedanken die mee heeft geholpen om van het festival
weer zo'n succes te maken. Tot over 3 jaar!!

Mijn
complimenten voor jullie goed georganiseerde IYF. Er was veel enthousiasme,
veel ontmoetingen en kwaliteit van zang. Het verdient lof dat jullie met al
die andere mensen door zijn gegaan om dit gebeuren weer van de grond te
tillen, want dit mag niet verloren gaan.
