“We want to send our heartfelt gratitude for everyone’s effort at the [Alzheimers] walk yesterday. Without your combined efforts, we never would have gotten this far. What an amazing event! The spirit of community was overflowing, the dancing and connection…. With so much uncertainty in the weather, your good humor and flexibility made the event a huge success. We’re not sure there was this much dancing and joy to be found anywhere on Cape Cod during such a deluge!…. Thanks to you, we met our fundraising goal and kept everyone happy, well-fed, and safe. You did an exceptional job, and we couldn’t have done it without you. We hope to see you in October in Provincetown!….”

“I’m writing to thank you so much for playing at the Remembery Walk last weekend. New this year, we specifically invited people with AD/dementia to join us in the park because we knew how much they would love the music. We were not wrong: your work brings an incredible amount of joy to the community, and we are so grateful for your willingness to join us…..“

“WOW! Sunday was a huge hit! Mayflower [Senior Living] can’t thank you enough for the joy you brought the residents that evening. A return engagement for the Sound Dunes is an absolute must.
Do let’s look at our respective schedules and figure out when you folks will be available after your respective busy summer seasons.
And on a more immediate note –
Have you any veterans in your group that might be available to for a short musical tribute on this upcoming Memorial Day-Monday May 30? In the past we have done a brief morning ceremony out front by our flag. The residents have their annual picnic at 11:45 and 1:30 – and, if they have the time, we would love to have you join us.
Thanks again for everything. Take good care.
– Maura”

“What a great concert last night! I wish I could have brought a bigger group with me …. it was only me and three students all of whom had early morning commitments and were unable to stay long. But I certainly had a wonderful time!
Another dancer found the information on the concert through my website. He wrote to me this morning saying that he enjoyed it and would like to follow your band online….
Thanks again for a wonderful concert!!

“On behalf of the Lower Cape Outreach Council, I extend a Heartfelt thank you to the [Sound Dunes] Swing Band for the fabulous performance at Jammin’ at the Rep. What a toe-tapping exhilarating musical experience! We loved it! Name That Tune was such a hit. While you were playing up there on stage, we in the audience were whispering the answers hoping we were right.
We are so grateful for your talented musicians.
Appreciatively,
-J. P., Lower Cape Outreach Council Board“
The Sound Dunes 
WOW! What a wonderful start to our new season in our new home. Your spectacular walk through musical history brought back so many memories. And your patriotic dedication in honor of those members we’ve lost during the pandemic was especially meaningful. On behalf of our entire membership, thank you for giving us the pleasure of spending an afternoon with you.
In a word, the Sound Dunes Ensemble is — “FANTASTIC”.
Charlie, President, Retired Men’s Club of Cape Cod
