The Arts

was extended an invitation to perform at Carnegie Hall on March 29, 2024, as part of the Carnegie Hall National Band and Orchestra Festival! They were extended this invitation after submitting a recording of their performance at the Director’s Choice Competition at the Meyerson Symphony Center in March.

The band will be preparing for this performance starting over the summer. Alumni of the Bishop Dunne Band program are encouraged to reach out to Mr. Daniel Harrelson, as they will be welcomed to join us to perform on stage as part of the celebration of 50+ years of band at Bishop Dunne.

If you would like to help support the band in their efforts to go to Carnegie Hall, any and all financial assistance is greatly appreciated so that all eligible students may participate. Congratulations to all Advanced and Intermediate Bands and their directors on their amazing accomplishments this year!
