HASTA Parade of Orchestras

Hi all,

The Kaimuki Middle School Beginning and Advanced Strings participated in the Hawaii American String Teachers Association Parade of Orchestras on Saturday, April 7th at the Pearl City Cultural Center.  Both groups performed for two highly regarded adjudicators from the mainland and got to hear orchestras of similar experience from Niu Valley, Moanalua Middle School, and Kawananakoa.

In addition to written comments and scores, both judges provided verbal comments throughout the performance, transcribed and available here.
