For the third year in a row, Los Alamitos High School’s Advanced Women’s and Advanced Mixed choirs have won national grand championships. Soundtrax and SoundFX’s latest victories happened this past weekend on stage at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville where both competed against choirs from throughout the United States.
Los Al’s advanced women’s group, Soundtrax, also earned awards for Best Vocals, Best Visuals and Best Soloist. SoundFX, Los Al’s advanced mixed group, won awards for Best Visuals and Best Vocals. Jenna Rosen was named the competition’s Best Female Soloist.
Both groups have about 60 performers each and were accompanied to Nashville by chaperones, technical crews, a live band and supporters, bringing the Los Al entourage to about 200 people on the trip who returned home to Southern California on Sunday evening.
“I’m extremely proud of how hard every single one of our students in both groups worked to get to this point. Their performances on stage at the Grand Ole Opry were spectacular and worthy of them being named national champions,” said Choir Director David Moellenkamp.
Both groups, along with other Los Alamitos High School choir groups, will continue competing locally this coming Friday and Saturday at the John Burrough High School Music Showcase in Burbank. The following weekend on April 16, Soundtrax and SoundFX will travel to San Diego to compete in the group’s last competition event of the year.
