I have never been so moved by a cello and piano before as when you performed in our Sunday service. Thanks for sharing your talents with us. We listen to your CD as we drive and it provides such a calming influence in our lives.

Bro. McDonald, I agree with all the other students, you ARE amazing! I learned so much from you, especially when I was on council. Your talent HAS touched so many lives, including mine. Not only are your church renditions amazing, but your outrageous birhtday songs are incredible! I loved all your music so much! Seriously! Through your music, the spirit has touched so many people. You guys are definitely changing lives! CLASS of 2007 is forever changed! :)

We seriously fell in love with your music when you gave Emily a CD for her wedding gift and we have bought every one since. Of course we have personal interest in your success and it goes way back. Let us know if you ever do a concert and we will be there!

Bro Mcdonald!

Your talent for piano and music is absolutely amazing!

Steve Nelson and Marshall McDonald are truly fine musicians and great composers, but there is a glaring error in the article. Both the "Spanish Trail Suite" and "Africa" were premiered by the Orchestra of Southern Utah (Cedar City's community orchestra), *not* by the SUU orchestra. Prof. Sun conducts both, but they are separate organizations.
