Once again, the music program at Los Alamitos High School has produced a trio of student-musicians, who we can all be proud of. Under the mentorship of Band Director, Tom Plunkett, these three local girls have each earned a much coveted spot on the 2016 U.S. AOncermy All-American Band. And just for some perspective, know that LAHS is the only school in the Country with three students selected. On Nov. 2 they will be honored by the U.S. Army at a ceremony in the school Performing Arts Center. As members of the award winning Los Alamitos High School Marching Band, they really are the best of the best, and they really have earned the respect of the entire community. Let’s hear it for Kayla Toy (clarinet), Sydney Carpentier (tenor saxophone) and Emily Carpentier (trumpet).
Recently, the trio was officially named to the 2016 U.S. Army All-American Marching Band a jacket presentation, Brigadier General Mark Toy said, “I’m incredibly honored to be a part of this ceremony, not only because my daughter’s involved, but it’s really the Army. I’ve been in the Army for 28 years and so to be able to combine my two loves, my family and my family in the Army, is something very special for me.”
