     "Thank you.  You were very good.  I want to be like you and you all look decent.  Your music is nice too.  Africa must be a nice place.  You are the bomb!  I know you that good but you are the bomb!  I know your music.  I love you." Anastasia Cole,  Rm 109

     "Dear Voices Of Africa,  Thank you so much for your performance.  I liked the song called San San Kroma. The Sekere sounded nice. I was thinking of being a singer one day. I would have 5 people in my group, woman only. The name of my group would be children of Africa.  I got all of your names in my gook.  I hope you come back soon.  I really enjoyed the show.  It was great.  I loved it.  Your dresses are pretty. Can I get one some day and be like you? Sincerely, Sharnee, Room 208

     Dear Voices Of Africa, I liked your assembly today.  Could you visit us every week??  That's how much I liked your show.  It was exciting to me.  That was the best assembly that I saw even in the 1st and 2nd Grade.  I wish I could see it again.  All of you have beautiful voices.  I liked the jungle dance because I was dancing a lot.  I enjoyed the show.  What kind of cloths did you have on??  Can you write back?  Sincerely, your friend, Veronica Hodges, Rm. 208

Dear Voices Of Africa, thank you fro coming out this morning to share your show with us.  I appreciate it.  I hope you come and visit us soon again.  Y'all all can blow in singing.  You have a great talent in playing your drums.  If you ever come again I'm sure you will remember be, I am light skinned.  I have long hair, inch long eye-brows.         

     You all looked nice and all of you have pretty hair.  I wish that I could work for all of you, maybe you remember me one day.  You can hire me as your second drummer.  I would love to work for each and every one of you.  If you ever want to hire me, all of the information is right here.  Sincerely, Andrea Green, Grade 3, Room 208. 

     Dear Voices Of Africa, thank you for coming to our school and sing your songs. They were great.  Do you live in Africa or United States?  I love your clothes too.  I wish I had clothes like that, but I am a n Indian and I don't wear clothes like that.  In Africa do you have Kings and Queens?  I have a lion and a cheetah in me.  Sincerely, your friend, Jeremy DeLoatch, Rm 208

    Dear Voices Of Africa, thank you for an amazing assembly, especially when you all did the Jungle Dance.  I really loved the assembly because it was great.  I was wondering how do you speak that language?  It was very colorful.  Do you all live in Africa or one part of Africa, and how did y'all do so much work on coming to this school.  I loved your assembly so much I wish you come here every do and play for us.  I also loved and enjoyed the Sekere.  Sincerely, Robin Billups, Rm 208

    Dear Voices Of Africa, thank you for singing at Barry School it was a pleasure to meet you.  You had a pretty voice and the drums was nice.  The shakers was nice.   It was nice to see you.  The assembly was amazing.  You all could sing good singing.  I love the singing.  You did a good job.  Will you come back?  I hope you do come back.  If you do I will be here.  I love you all and all the songs you sung.  Sincerely, Rodney Davis McCallum

   Dear Voices Of Africa, thank you for the show.  I really like it.  I learned a lot of stuff.  I had a good time.  The show was amazing, fantastic, great.  The best show ever to come to Barry School!!!  My favorite dance was "We Are Women Who Play Drums."  I remembered the dance from last year.  Will you come back next year?  I hope so.  Sincerely, Neville Brown

     Dear Voices Of Africa, your singing is very beautiful.  The beat was absolutely fantastic.  Your outfits was so colorful.  But did it take long to be the "Voices Of Africa?"  And the one with the purple bow looks like my cousin Pam.  Did you make the Sekere?  So are you stars of Africa?  Someday I want to be just like you.  Your fan, Sharae

     Dear Voices Of Africa, thank you so much for letting us enjoy your show.  I really liked how Saffarra dances and all the rest of you sing.  You are a very nice group.  All of you looked very pretty in your African clothing.  I enjoyed your show, Sincerely yours friend, Chante Gadson
