TRAVEL AGENCIES

Hawaii Music Festivals® welcomes inquiries from travel agencies. You can offer your groups the opportunity to march in the 16th Annual Honolulu Festival - Parade of Bands. See www.pobhawaii.com and www.marching.com/events/honolulu-festival-parade-of-bands. The parade will be held on March 14, 2010. For the first time the parade will include a marching band competition. Adjudicators from the University of Kansas and the University of Hawaii will judge the performances. The Honolulu Festival started 15 years ago and has grown to be the premier cultural event in Hawaii. The festival includes ethnic performances, events and exhibits at various venues throughout Honolulu. The parade will feature marching bands, cheerleader and dance groups, thousands of performers and world class floats. The parade starts at Ft. De Russy, passes through Waikiki and ends at Kapiolani Park. Over forty thousand spectators line the parade route. This parade is currently considered the best parade in the State of Hawaii.

As part of the event filled weekend the Honolulu Festival will include the Hawaii Band & Orchestra Festival. This event will be held on Saturday, March 13, 2010 at the Hawaii Convention Center. Festival adjudicators will judge all performances and each group will be rated. Groups will receive a professional recording of their performances as well as written and taped comments. Private workshops will be offered to participating groups. The artistic director and clinician will be Dr. Robert Foster, Professor of Music and Assistant Chair of the Department of Music and Dance at the University of Kansas.
