School Reviews
"A mom came up to me and asked what the name of our bully band was, she said her daughter had come home last week and told her she was being bullied...because the band told her to tell." "The Wanes PTA on Lake Wallenpaupack, was so thrilled to have this show. Leonardo and the Making Waves band really sent home a message of teamwork and anti-bullying. Teachers were rocking in their seats and kids were singing the songs long after the band left. I had so many teachers ask us to bring it back next year. What a wonderful way to kick off the year, thanks Leonardo" Eva Warner Wallenpaupack Assembly Director Hawley, PA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I just wanted to thank you for providing an excellent program at Arleth Elementary School... I have only received positive feedback from other PTO members and teachers who were present."

"If you want a musical act full of positive energy, fun and optimism, Leonardo and his band are the perfect fit. The kids, teachers and parents are still singing his songs." Kristi Lafrenz Stewart Elementary PTO Stevensville, MI ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Evans Students Participate in Anti-Bullying Assembly An assembly was held in the Kevin Grindlay Gymnasium on September 12, 2011 at 9am on Bully Prevention and Character Building. A group named Leonardo and The Making Waves played musical renditions of songs and messages for the students on anti-bullying and drug-free awareness. Students participated on stage, as they played musical instruments along with the Band. The message “Tell Somebody” was based upon the importance of students communicating with staff, if someone is bullying them. And that all of the student body and staff believe in a “No Bullies” philosophy. All in all the students and staff clapped along and had a good time with the Band as they recreated old classics like Wooly Bully, related to an Anti- Bullying theme. "Each song displays remarkable understanding of a child's world...educational concepts are often cleverly integrated." School Library Journal
