"In August of this year I applied on behalf of our Honors Symphonic Band for the opportunity to perform in the Carnegie Hall Festival in New York. I had to submit an audio recording of them performing as 7th  graders as well as past recordings of our 8th  grade groups and a list of accomplishments for our program over the last 2 years.

 

Carnegie Hall is the world’s most prestigious stage. Every major musician from Rachmaninoff to the Beatles and beyond has performed there. Dvorak’s 1st  Symphony was performed there for the first time. The main hall was home to the performances of the New York Philharmonic from 1892 until 1962. Almost all of the leading classical music and popular music performers since 1891 have performed there. Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, the Dave Brubeck Quartet, Judy Garland, Harry Belafonte, Nina Simone, Shirley Bassey, James Gang and Stevie Ray Vaughan, have all made celebrated live recordings of their concerts there.

 

It is truly an honor to be selected to perform there."   Mr. Dodson
