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

"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.

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

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

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
