"She's got that spark...her body language, her facial expressions. She just seemed to be enjoying herself and I think that's what an entertainer needs to give an audience."
- Gary Morton, National Capital Region Kiwanis Music Festival Managing Director - Quote
"Parul Sharma not only made a bit of history at this year's Kiwanis Music Festival, she did it with a splash. For the first time in its 57-year history, the festival introduced pop music categories to its lineup and Sharma, a 17-year old Colonel By High School student, swept all the pop vocal awards." - The Ottawa Citizen, 2002
