Program Title: Empire City

It's the Big Apple: New York City! This show celebrates one of the most iconic cities in the world. Alicia Keys's “Empire State of Mind” drives this show musically. This show covers a wide variety of city elements including traffic jams, the hustle and bustle of big city life, the vastness of New York City, and more. The ballad “Central Park” is a beautiful break from the busyness of the city and the show closes with another recap of “Empire State of Mind.” The band would like to thank our sponsors and booster board for their continued support as we plan our 2025 spring break trip to New York City to perform in Carnegie Hall.
