The William Floyd High School Soundsations a cappella group, led by Michelle Seifert, performed at the inaugural Scholarship Gala hosted by the Dr. Calabro Lodge #3011 Order of the Sons and Daughters of Italy. The event took place at Sunset Harbor in East Patchogue and was described as “a celebration of life and learning.” During the gala, Town of Brookhaven Supervisor Dan Panico and Suffolk County Legislator Jim Mazzarella were recognized for their contributions to the community.

The Soundsations began the evening by performing during the cocktail hour with songs such as “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay” and “Sh-Boom (Life Could Be a Dream)." They also opened the ceremony with their rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

In addition to their performance, it was announced that 18 scholarships would be awarded to seniors from William Floyd High School, along with two scholarships for students at Queen of the Apostles school in Center Moriches. The announcement highlighted the generosity of the Dr. Calabro Lodge #3011 Order of the Sons and Daughters of Italy. Congratulations were extended to Supervisor Panico and Legislator Mazzarella for their recognition.
