The road to Carnegie Hall started in March of 2024 just after Wind Ensemble earned the highest possible ratings at their annual Music Performance Assessment (MPA).  Mr. Singletary submitted recordings from MPA to the Carnegie Hall selection committee. Gulf Breeze is one of only nine groups from across the United States selected to perform. 

Students and chaperones will fly to New York City and spend three nights and four days exploring! The trip will conclude with an exceptional performance at the famous Carnegie Hall and adjudicated by some of the top concert band professionals nationally. The program will consist of several fine band masterworks and some of the top literature this group has ever performed. 

Mr. Singletary would like to thank the Gulf Breeze Administrative team and specifically principal Sarah Barker for their full support and encouragement! Additional thanks goes to the Gulf Breeze community; the SoundWave is looking forward to hearing you cheer us on from the stands.
