     1234 ! Let's go! The Ewa Makai band performance led by Mr. Iyoki, the Ewa Makai band director,  performed at Keone'ula for 4th-6th graders. They played songs such as Don't stop believing, Eye of the Tiger, Party Rock Anthem, You're a  Mean  One, Mr. Grinch, along with some of " The Grinch stole Christmas"  songs. Then they showed the audience some music sheets, which are sheets that guide musicians and the conductor which beat to play in, which they use to play their instruments. Some instruments they play are  the saxophone, French horn, xylophone, drums, tuba and many more.

     Then the conductor had a little surprise for us. He picked a student conductor from the audience. That lucky person was Taias Savea. He got to conduct the band for awhile. He did great! Anyways, overall, it was an awesome performance!

     So here is some more good news. For those who would want to listen to the Ewa Makai band rock again, they are going to play in the Winter Concert on December 13 at the Ewa Makai Middle School. Also, for those of you that would like to be in the Ewa Makai band and rock as good as them, you can take a summer program for about a month to get into the band program. Anyways, thank you Ewa Makai band for a wonderful performance. You ROCK!
