June 23, 2012

A 2009 Jay High School graduate will perform with fellow University of Florida Band members at the opening ceremonies of the London Olympic Games.

Kimmy Hudon is a native of Santa Rosa County. She has been a part of the Fighting Gator Marching Band for three years.

The Gator Marching Band is the only American band invited to play at the Olympics. They will play the Star Spangled Banner as the U.S. team enters the stadium and “God Save the Queen” for the British team during the Parade of Nations.

    I believe Kimmy’s accomplishments is because of her Step-father, Aubrey Penton and his talents as well as her mother’s beautiful voice. There is probally music being played all the time in their home and even in his watermelon patch.
