Exceptional, talented, driven, and dedicated are but a few of the adjectives that describe the five local high school seniors awarded music scholarships by the Laguna Community Concert Band last week.

The recipients, four seniors from Laguna Beach High School, Margaux Reckard - trumpet (Kalamazoo College), Karli Cornell - trumpet (Hofstra University - Music Education major), Charlie Jungheim - percussion (Los Angeles Institute of Music), and Jhani Randhawa - trumpet - (Sarah Lawrence College), and Orange County School of the Arts senior Isaac Kramer - trombone (New England Conservatory), each were awarded a certificate of achievement and a $200 music scholarship through the LCCB scholarship program.

Band ambassador Carol Reynolds presented the scholarships to the four LBHS seniors at the conclusion of their culminating yearend concert. "There seemed to be many outstanding students in the concert last night, which was very, very good. Our awardees were all going to be participating in performing music activities in college and were selected by the band directors."

The Laguna Community Concert Band will be kicking off the 4th of July festivities at the Sawdust Festival with a concert beginning at 10:30 am. For additional info about the summer concert schedule, see the bands website at www.lagunaconcertband. com.
