Princeton Symphonic Band and Orchestra Travel to Hawaii
The PHS Band and Orchestra embarked on an unforgettable journey to Hawaii from February 14-19, 2024. This musical expedition aimed to provide students with a unique cultural and educational experience while showcasing their talents in one of the world's most picturesque destinations.
During their stay, the students participated in musical performances at the U.S.S. Missouri (Pearl Harbor) and the Malama Honua Public Charter School, a K-6 school that teaches Hawaiian culture, language and values. Their repertoire captivated audiences and earned accolades from both locals and fellow travelers.
In addition to their performances, the students had the opportunity to experience Waikiki, Secret Island, a Luau, Rock-a-Hula, and whale watching. Cultural excursions to sites such as Pearl Harbor and the Polynesian Cultural Center provided valuable insights into Hawaii's history and traditions.
The Princeton Band and Orchestra have made similar trips in 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2018.
