"Brian - It was a wonderful experience. You were all that we hoped and more! The songs were amazing. I can't wait to use them at Morning Program. Terry plans to use them for our board of education appreciation night. Thanks for coming and being awesome! We'll spread the word of your talents."

“We were fortunate to have Brian Chevalier visit our school for a Character Education assembly and it is fair to say that his two performances exceeded our expectations. Character Ed is a big part of the Shaker Road community ethos and we have been fortunate to have many great presenters come to work with our students. But Brian’s manner and talents and deliberate efforts to connect with the kids made his performance that much more enjoyable and meaningful for all. He is far more than a talented musician or an artist who is playing to a specific crowd. He is kind and thoughtful and it is plainly clear that he believes in and lives by the messages in his songs. We always tell the adults in our building to model the behavior that we seek and that can certainly be said of Brian. Thank you for coming to Shaker Road!”
