I’ve been on a run of posts about my students lately… what can I say, I’m a proud teacher!
Three of my Jr. High and High School Students made it into the Hawaii Youth Symphony program this year. That may not sound like a big number, but so few low brass players get to be involved compared to string instrumentalists that it is a great percentage! My returning students all moved up in the HYSO program.
The top tuba players at UH have been subbing in the Royal Hawaiian Band of late:
Armando Langaman:
and Casey Kitano:
at the Kamehameha Day Parade this year we had an unprecidented 5 sousaphones!
with Armando, Casey, and UH alumnus Paul Caballero.
