Subject: Congratulations on the 2025–2026 Program of Distinction Designation
On behalf of the North Carolina Bandmasters Association, I would like to congratulate you and your program on receiving the designation of Program of Distinction for the 2025–2026 school year. This prestigious honor is a testament to the exceptional standards of musical excellence, artistry, and community leadership demonstrated by your program throughout the past year.
An achievement of this caliber does not happen by chance. It is the direct result of the immense time dedication, unwavering passion, and tireless hard work invested by you. Leading a comprehensive band program requires countless hours outside the standard school day—from early morning rehearsals and late-night performances to meticulous behind-the-scenes planning. Your steadfast commitment to your students has not only guided them to a high level of technical and artistic accomplishment but has also fostered an environment where discipline, teamwork, and creativity thrive.
To the students of your band program: your dedication to your craft and your collective resilience have truly set you apart. The synergy between a director’s vision and a student body's commitment is what builds a legendary program. You have represented your school and community with immense pride and distinction.
We are incredibly proud to honor your accomplishments and celebrate the standard of excellence you continue to set for music education across North Carolina. Congratulations again on a phenomenal year!
Warmest regards,
Steven Kelly, Band Delegate North Carolina Bandmasters Association
