A Note from Bill Masters, White Rose Music and Arts Society
I thought that I would send along a note to let the members know how pleased we were with Krystle dos Santos. We first saw Krystle two years ago at showcase and were impressed. We presented Krystle doing her Motown show at the Leduc Maclab theatre last October and we’re very pleased. Krystle put on a professional show and was very easy to deal with and appreciative of the opportunity. I would recommend Krystle to other fellow presenters.
