Thank you to all our music students who came out and participated in our successful Day Camp this past weekend! It was a busy weekend with our school's own Relay for Life event that Friday, with many of you coming straight from RFL, some peppier than others!
Special thanks and appreciation to all of our clinicians for taking time out of their own busy schedules: Mr. Elton Masaki, Ms. Elizabeth Lee, Mr. Richard Lee, Ms. Sandra Wong, Dr. Teresa McCreary, & Mr. Randy Wong who helped out at our orchestra day camp. Much thanks again to our "Orchestra Angel," our anonymous donor for sponsoring the entire Day Camp, the Callejos for their monetary donation, our music parents for setting up, and to Mr. Abe and Mr. Masuno for their support and guidance. We had pastries, manapua and Valentine's cookies to start the day off. Juice, milk, tea, hot chocolate and a LOT OF COFFEE for the early morning start. Thank you Rough Riders for coming out and helping at today's Honolulu Marathon event! Your spirit and enthusiasm was truly appreciated by the participants!

The three concerts were certainly beautiful to listen to and brought out such joy and spirit to the audience! As the night concluded, it was an honor for the Orchestra to play with and Ho'okena and Maila Gibson! If you were not able to attend, you missed out on the students' great music.
