Food with Friends, Marching Bands with My Sister

A couple of weeks ago, I had dinner with Angie, Tash, Keala, and Yvonne at Cathay Inn. I <3 Chinese food. Eating Chinese food with friends? Even better. =)

Pics courtesy of Angie and Tash:

Yvonne and me.

“Da Crew”: Yvonne, me, Keala, Angie and Tash. Tash strategically set the camera on the trunk of her car and put it on automatic.

Me, Yvonne, Angie and Keala.

Me, Yvonne and Angie. Peace!

Then, on Veteran’s Day, I went with my sister to the 28th Annual Rainbow Invitational at Aloha Stadium. Lots of great high school marching bands, but I was a little disappointed Waianae’s band wasn’t there. I’m sure my sister was, too… she’s in it! Their band is too small for the minimum 25 members needed to make decent formations on the football field. Oh, and UH’s marching band is kick ass! They closed the show.

Afterwards, Mom picked us up and took us to Zippy’s. Mmmm… won ton mein… again… (the last pic is the happy face the chef or waitress made out of the mustard)

Below are pics from that night. I forgot to take out my phone until the third band, Kailua, performed, so I didn’t get pics of Campbell and Nanakuli. =(

It looks Photoshopped, but it’s not!

Kailua High School

Aiea High School

Farrington High School

Kapolei High School… their theme was Blues Brothers. They later brought out two cardboard cop cars and a cardboard car with two Blues Brothers, complete with car exhaust, lol.

Castle High School… they did a Grease theme. Heehee.

Roosevelt High School

Leilehua High School

Kalani High School

Kaiser High School – their theme was Guitar Hero… in this pic, the band is coming out of the Guitar Hero video game box LOL.

Mililani High School

Kamehameha Schools. Their theme was “The Gates,” so of course, the orange things on the field are gates.

Pearl City High School

Moanalua High School – their band is HUGE… bigger than UH’s band and I suppose the largest high school band in the state. Jeremy says the band has about 150 members!

Punahou School – another huge band

UH Manoa’s band… complete with a baton thrower!

Representatives from each band receive their participation plaques.

Smile!
