Throwback Thursday - Former Student, James Plaisance
It's Throwback Thursday! Congrats to former LAAPA student, James Plaisance, for his new gig with the Glenn Miller Orchestra! He'll be touring with them for the next 6 months all over the US! Here are some clips from then and now!
James was a longtime saxophone, clarinet, and oboe student and studied under Dr. Mark Williams and Ryan Cullen. He later went on to earn his music education degree on an oboe and TOPS scholarship at LSU. You can also check out his band "The Brasshearts" with former LAAPA students, Michael Silvestri (drums) and Will Green (sax) in their first album of original music "Heart of Gold" streaming on most platforms. https://www.thebrasshearts.com/music
