I am Lauren Maggi. I am a senior at Aliso. It is my
3rd year on drill and this is my second year being captain! I grew up dancing with
both my sisters for as long as I can remember. When i was 5 I took a break from dancing and played soccer. I have been playing
for 10 years. I was convinced to join drill my freshman year and I am so thank full! I don’t know what my life would
be like without these Drill girlies. They are all friends for life, and I love each and everyone of them! My Family is my
biggest support team. I can't wait to make a TON of new memories, and have a GREAT senior year! Class of 2010!!

Choreographer Sydney Van Horn
Sydney is one of the newest editions to Aliso's Drill Team. She is sophomore at UCLA studying
Communications. Sydney was on Drill Team for three amazing years - sophomore to senior year, where she was elected lieutenant
and captain respectively the last two years. This year, Sydney has returned to choreograph a military routine for the girls
to hopefully dazzle the judges and audience at competitions. She loves Drill Team with all of her heart. It gave her a sense
of home and family while in high school and she hopes to continue the tradition. But more importantly, these girls mean the
world to her and she would do anything for her little sisters.
I'll MISS YOU!
