Hello Everyone,
Here is Dan's post from the Northern Sounds forum.
Thank you Dan.

Thank you Michael for overseeing this annual project and adopting it.
All the songs are mastered and have been sent in to Make Music for auditioning.
As with all the years past, some of the songs sent in may not be a part of the collection. I don't know which ones will or will not be accepted. Regardless of whether or not "your" song is used, please accept a big thank you from me and Michael and the entire Garritan Community for your contribution and offering.
There has always been a high standard of quality desired for this music, not only in the writing, arranging, editing and mixing, but equally important even when the writing, arranging, editing and mixing is good, if just one of these details has a level of "cringe factor" it can hurt the piece getting approved.
I say all that to emphasize the appreciation that the folks at Make Music have for everyone who has taken their time and talent to make music for the whole world to hear, especially on such a wondrous event as Christmas!
So, may I open the Thanksgiving season with a hearty
Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to everyone!
Gary Garritan, did you ever think 11 years later this tradition would still be going strong?
Dan
