Aloha PMB Ohana
Congratulations to all the students for their hard work and dedication. The music and marching created an amazing performance at the Rainbow Invitational. An official YouTube link will be posted next week. The students performed superb and we should all be proud of their accomplishments!
ROSE PARADE REHEARSALS
As mentioned in the previous blog posting, rehearsal scheduling at Punahou is an enormous endeavor with coordination by multiple administrative layers. Please check the schedule on a weekly basis as the schedule may be amended as needed. Hopefully all of the wrinkles have been ironed out, but changes happen. Thank you for understanding!
Students are expected to demonstrate their marching and musical skills to participate in the parade. Music needs to be memorized, endurance increased and marching executed. Rehearsals occur to help the students learn individually and collectively. Some students may need to put in extra work in order to participate on January 1. The earlier they demonstrate their skills and endurance the better! We will start videoing rehearsals this Sunday to help evaluate and let students see their own performance successes and challenges. We are currently able to participate due partially to the efforts of those that have already graduated. We need to excel for ourselves, future band students, Punahou and Hawaii.
