H-M Happenings (December 16, 2022)
Band & Orchestra Perform on Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day
Each year on December 7th, the anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack, the Annual Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade takes place to honor the Pearl Harbor survivors, veterans, active duty military and their families. The Hill-Murray band and orchestra were invited to perform in the parade by Master Gunnery Sergeant Earl Hurrey, who is the music committee chair of the Pearl Harbor Commemoration Committee. This is the third time the band and orchestra have received the honor to perform in the ceremony. CLICK HERE to watch the band’s performance in the parade.
In addition to the parade performance, they had the opportunity to perform with the Marine Band of the Pacific and individually at the U.S.S. Missouri, Polynesian Cultural Center, and Ala Moana. The students were able to take time to sight see and to learn about the history of WWII and the culture of the Polynesian people.
