    Opening our balcony door and waking up to the halo trio brought our entire room to tears. We all had goosebumps and stood stunned on our little overlook. Thank you to everyone who put this amazing concert on, you're all amazing and so talented.

    this is by far my favorite concert that i've ever performed in - EVER. i've wanted to play the chrono trigger main theme and snake eater in a concert setting since high school (i would play the snake eater stinger fanfare on trumpet as an in-joke with my friends in band class), and to get both songs in one set alongside others like Halo felt like a fever dream. shoutouts to everyone else that participated in this, y'all killed it!! super pumped for the next one :)

    Hiya Papaya! I was the Yunaka cosplayer and one of the Galdera soloists. I'm so, so, so overwhelmingly grateful for this experience. I was classicly trained in college but haven't sung in a setting like this in over ten years, so this was simultaneously rewarding and validating for me. Can't wait to perform with all of you beautiful people all over again next year, because there's no way I'm not making this a staple of my magfest experience after this :)
