I was lucky to attend the 50th Anniversary concerts in the UK which were amazing! I would like to send my Congratulations and Best Wishes to The Osmonds-a very special family!
Thank-you

I was sad that the Osmonds didn't tour the U.S. for their 50th also, but I just bought tickets to see Donny & Marie in Vegas on Thanksgiving Day & I've seen 3 of Donny's concerts in Wisconsin & the brothers twice in Branson & once at the Wisconsin State Fair (where I saw all of them for the 1st time in the 70's). They are an awesome family, wonderful Christians, and the best performers I've ever seen. They have given me so much joy since I became a fan in 1970. Thank you Osmonds!

I was in Vegas for the 50th...I only wish there was a way to be in Utah this week-end, so who ever is lucky enough to be there have a great time and take lots of pictures. God Bless you.

I have been a fan for 37 years and can honestly say being a fan of the Osmonds has been so wonderful. I was fortunate enough to go to Las Vegas last August for the beginning of the 50th Anniversary Celebrations. Thank you Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay, Donny, Marie and Jimmy for being a part of my life. I love you all.

Though I am not LDS, I do get BYU TV via Direct TV and was able to see the broadcast of the Pioneer Day Concert with the Osmonds....The whole event was quite awesome! All the Osmonds were great, especially with the Orchestra and the Choir backing them up! What a memorable event! May those brothers who are choosing to retire enjoy many happy, healthy and joyous years spent with their family and close friends! My sincerest congratulations to the Osmonds on their 50 years in the entertainment industry...they are a wonderful family who have always been a shining example to those whose lives they have touched over the years with their music, genuine kindness to all, and their ability to model a positive and wholesome lifestyle! Much love and thanks to them all from Chicago!!!!

I SAW THE BYU-TV BROADCASTING WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE NETHERLANDS AFTER OUR VACATION IN THE USA, AND I WAS VERY IMPRESSED! A FEW DAYS BEFORE THE CONCERT WE WERE AT TEMPLE SQUARE IN SALT LAKE CITY AND ATTENDED "MUSIC AND THE SPOKEN WORD" AT THE CONFERENCE CENTER: WE ENJOYED THE MORMON TABERNACLE CHOIR S� MUCH!!
WE WEREN'T ABLE TO SEE THE OSMONDS PERFORMING BECOUSE WE HAD TO MOVE ON WITH OUR TRAVELING SCEDULE. SO BACK IN THE NETHERLANDS I SAW IT ONLINE.
THANK YOU MTC AND THANK YOU OSMONDS; YOU'VE DONE A GREAT JOB: IT'S A BLESSING TO HEAR YOU SING!!
MAY GOD BE WITH YOU TILL WE MEET AGAIN.
KIND REGARDS FROM THE HEART,
ELS ROEPERS AND FAMILY
