Honolulu Festival – Parade of Bands
March 4, 2012

Hawaii Music Festivals works with other tour companies in offering their groups quality festivals and parades. We offer travel agencies festival only packages or you can look for best deals to Hawaii. Our festivals have been very successful and well attended. We have never cancelled a festival date due to a lack of participating groups. The March 3, 2012, festival will be held at the Hawaii Convention Center and the March 31, 2012 and April 14, 2012 festivals will be held at the Pearl City Cultural Center. Both venues offer attractive facilities for group performances. The Honolulu Festival – Parade of Bands which will be held on March 4, 2012, and is currently the best parade in Hawaii. Over 40,000 spectators line the parade route.

Our festivals offer private workshops by nationally known clinicians in addition to performing in front of large audiences. The highlight of our choral festivals is a massed performance where all the choirs participate. We have always selected a Hawaiian piece as one of the songs in the massed performance. This has been very popular with visiting groups.

The 2012 band festivals will feature Jay S. Gephart from Purdue University and James Swearingen from Capital University. Our 2012 choral festivals will feature Dr. Janet Galvan from Ithaca College, and Dr. Elph Ehly, Professor Emeritus at the University of Missouri.
