SUMMER HAPPENINGS...

The UH Summer Band began practices on June 14th @ Kaimuki Middle School.  Participants from all over Oahu, young and older, met 1x/wk from 7:00-9:00pm for 6 weeks culminating in a concert at Ward Warehouse -the last performance for the shopping center.  As per usual, but never taken for granted, the Marauder Band supporters were full force in the audience!  Participants for this year's UH Summer Band were: Marauder Alumni -Jolly Tugas, Jayke Arista, Imerson Boy, Romeo Celes, Jr., Diane Manzana, & Kyle Mizuno.    Current Marauders: Jamesson Acierto, Josiah Davin, Christian Eda, Michael Englar, Jr., Kana'i Fu, Michelle Leano, John Henry Ongos, Mark Payne, & Isaiah Takahashi.   

Hawaii Youth Symphony Auditions were held on May 21st.  Six Marauders auditioned then waited a painful 5 weeks for the results... well worth the wait, as all 6 Marauders were selected!!  Michael Englar, Jr., Kana'i Fu, Michelle Leano & John Henry Ongos will be playing in YS2.  Nicole Fontanilla & Isaiah Takahashi will be playing in YS1.  Way to represent the West Side, Marauders!!!

111th Army Band Music Fellowship concluded in a concert on June 25 at the Pearl City Cultural Center.  10 Waipahu Band students participated in this summer's fellowship along with students from 3 colleges and 6 Oahu High Schools (both private and public).  These students played alongside the 111th Army Band and were able to expand their musical experience.

Our 2017-18 Marauder Marching Band Season kicked off on June 14th with music rehearsals in the bandroom.  This year's theme will be enhanced with formal uniforms for the band's 3rd marching season (Thank You, Mr. Hayashi).  As the football field is STILL under construction and there are issues with a light post & the vandalized concession stand, the band has been practicing in the parking lot and/or the grass area near the tennis courts.  Alumni have been assisting and continue to play a vital role in the success of the marching band -Mahalo Alumns!!   Color guard will include flags and rifles this year -they're practicing hard and have the bruises to prove it!
