Hawaii (II)

Day 2:
We headed for Pearl Harbour and the USS Arizona memorial. We took a lot of photos and bought lots of souvenirs too. It was a golden opportunity.

We then proceeded for our rehearsal. We then had our own lunch in another fast food restaurant, I presume(I can't really remember). We then went to Ala Moana shopping centre for our performance. The crowd was really encouraging. Despite playing quite badly(for one of our pieces), one of the audience complimented us, saying that that song was really nice. Their cheers and claps were just so motivating.

Day 3:
We went to Pacific Beach Hotel for an hour of workshop. Afterwards, we had an exchange rehearsal with a band from California, Mountain View High School. Despite our age difference(I was 14, they were 17,18), they managed to break the ice and we became good friends in that short span of an hour. We exchanged contacts, and even added them to our facebook. We managed to try their playing their performance piece, "Hounds of spring". It was much fun, especially at the end, when they gave us some presents, and even gave us thei school badge. Afterwards, we went back to the hotel to prepare for our dinner and dance at Pacific Beach hotel.
In that occasion, there were many people from all over the globe, gathering here for this joyious occasion, including people from Japan, USA, Australia etc. The meal was delectable. I enjoyed it. We also danced wildly to different music. Personally, i don't like dancing, so i was basically walking around the whole time...
