Thank you for everyone's support. I realy hope to go and be able to march with the Macy's Great American Marching Band. I am also hoping that Mom & Dad get to go. They have never missed any of my performances.
Andrew Kirk, I was very pleased to see you monday night. I wanted to congradulate you in person, but was not able to get to you. I am very excited to have you represent our great state. Perhaps sometime we can do something together to help young talent like yourself to keep the MUSIC inour heart's and lives. Congratulations on your wonderful accomplishment. My Mother ,sister and I agree your just the cutest thing and we are so very proud of you. Hope to see you real soon.
A fund has been set up in Kirk's name at United Banks across the state to help send him to the Big Apple. If there is any money left over Kirk says it will go into a scholarship fund to help give other students this opportunity in the future. There can be no scholorship unless the community steps up and starts donating to the fund. This young man has worked very hard to earn this oppertunity of a life time, please community lets step up and send him to New York. Even if it's five or ten dollars every little bit adds up. Thank you!
Macy's Great American Band has confirmed that Andrew Kirk is the only student representing the state of WV this year.
Andrew I am so proud of you! You have worked so hard for your accomplishments and you have certainly exceeded your mother and I's expectations. Keep up the good work and We Love You!
We are very proud of you and are happy to serve you. Good Luck Andrew and Thank You from all of us at United Bank.
Congratulations young man on your accomplishments and for setting such high standards of excellence within the musical community. You are setting a great example for students across the state. Good luck and keep "sticking". Keep the talent coming Chet.
We have sent out letters with pictures to West Virginia dignitaries including Gov. Manchin. We received a very nice acknowledgement letter back from Gov Manchin, as well as some others. I am sorry that you did not receive a reply back from him.
Congratulations, I was so excited that this young man was going to represent WV in the Macy's Parade that I wrote both Governer Joe Manchin and Gale about this, Wow a week has gone by and no email or acknowledgement I think this is a shame and shows just what kind of support West Virgians really have from their State Government!
Dave you are welcome! got your call, but was working.
Congratulations to my Nephew Andrew, I Can't wait to see you on TV! I am very proud of you! Congratulations to Dave(Bro) and Tamra(Sister-in-law) as well for supporting Andrew in his accomplishments. Love..Aunt Robin
Congrats Andrew!! I know your dad is so proud of you, and he should be!! Everyone get out and support Andrew anyway you can. Good luck :-)
I am so proud of Andrew. This is a dream come true. He has worked very hard to get this position with his parents Dave and Tamra behind him all the way.
Hey Cookie Man---you are awesome!!!! I am very proud of you.
I am so proud of this young man. The time and dedication he has put into this is remarkable. The Macy's Great American Marching Band is very fortunate to have such an outstanding musician. Thank you Mr Backus for your time and dedication as well. Congratulations Andrew---Job well done!!!!
