Narrative:
Cleared to taxi from customs at pbi via taxiway C. Hold short of runway 13. We taxied to the hold short line of runway 13 and waited. After 1 min I called and said we were holding short of runway 13. Tower came back and cleared us to taxi across runway 13 to runway 9L. It was at that point I realized that after I had read back the taxi instructions to ground I had mistakenly switched over to the tower frequency and we had been taxiing on the tower frequency. I failed to stay with ground. I'll make sure when I switch frequencys I'll know for sure I've done so.
