It was a great day at Jacksonville University as two of Atlantic Coast’s very own showed off their musical talents and brought home top honors at the North State Solo & Ensemble Music Performance Assessment (MPA).

A huge congratulations goes out to Addison Stapleton and Analiz Cedeno for their exceptional performances that earned them superior ratings across the board!

🎷 Addison wowed the judges with a Jazz Solo, earning a Superior rating.
🎻 Analiz impressed with a Classical Solo, also earning a Superior rating.
🎭 And together, Addison and Analiz performed a Musical Theater Duet that received not only a Superior with Distinction—the highest possible rating—but also an invitation to perform at the Honor’s Recital, a prestigious showcase of the event’s top performers.

These recognitions are a testament to the hard work, talent, and dedication these students pour into their craft. The entire Stingray family is proud of Addison and Analiz for representing Atlantic Coast with such excellence!

Let’s hear it for these rising stars—your passion for music continues to inspire!
