Day 10: Sea Life Centre

Today we left for a nice journey to the sea life centre. Many of the group were able to touch turtles which were only a year old. The group sat down to watch the 2 dolphin shows that were put on which were amazing, the group headed for an early night after watching a sunset again whilst standing on walls in the sea to try and be the last man standing with the waves crashing upon them all the time. Early evening for Pearl Harbour and our last day :(.

Day 9: Final Concert Day

Today, we were lucky enough to take part in a clinic with a bubbly music proffessor at the university of Hawaii, in which we gained many new musical techniques. After our workshop we headed to Ala Moana Shopping Centre where we performed our last concert in Hawaii. The crowd loved our 'spectacular' performance.

Day 8 - Hanuma Bay

Hanuma Bay Poem

Today we 'did' Hanauma,

To snorkel coral reefs,

We saw turtles, fish and urchins,

well within our reach.

The sea was clear and blue-green,

the waves were not too rough,

the shouls of fish darted about -

it was so hard not to touch!

Our goggles we bombarded,

with visions truly great,

we didn't want to leave the bay-

but knew we couldn't be late.

A bus we caught by dinner,

then out again for tea,

'Cheesecake Factory' our venue-

not far from beach and Sea.

Our bellies were well-struggling,

with scrumptious food and drink-

we watched the sun set after-

no swimming or we'd sink!!!!

Day 7 - Diamond Head Climb

We climbed Diamond Head, and collected our certificates on the way, a due reward for our challenging trek. The afternoon was a time to chill beside the pool followed by a domino's for dinner, even if we did have to pay for it.

Day 6 - Relaxing Day

In the morning we went shopping in the international market place. After loading up with souvenirs we headed back to the hotel for relaxing time by the pool. We then went to the beach where we had a swim. We returned to the hotel to get ready for another dinner at Denny's :).

Day 5 - Polynesian Cultural Centre

In the morning we visited the shops or went to the beach to top up our tans. Then in the afternoon we headed to the Polynesian Cultural Centre where we saw cultures from Samoa, New Zealand, Tonga, Tahiti and saw a spectacular show in the evening. Amy Hiles and Joshua Holt danced away at the evening meal where they announced their 'one year anniversary!!'

4th Day - Concerts

Thursday began with a well-welcomed trip to the beach; including more swimming, more sun-bathing and more RED shoulders!! Next the band headed for the Botanical Gardens, accompanied by a few drops of pleasant warm rain to play a very successful concert. The band then returned to their favorite resturant Denny's for yet another lovely meal.

3rd Day - First Concert :)

This day started with a small concert provided by George Sansome playing his amazing Ukelele. We soon packed our cases and walked a few blocks to the Royal Hawaiian Centre to play our first concert to Honolulu, with the hawaiian premiere performance of Phillip Harper's 'Hawaii 5 0' which went down with a few giggles from the locals. We soon returned to the hotel to then change into casuals before meeting students from a high school with amazing music facilities to join them in a marching band rehearsal. Time to chill out in the evening pool side with a domino's pizza for everyone. One busy day.

Day 2 - Free Day

It was a day to relax and recover. We learnt about 'J' walking, suncream and what the colour blue really was! We found out what Hawaiian 'continental' was at breakfast, learnt how to barter at the market and enjoyed the sunshire at the beach and by the pool. Evening at Dennies saw many hungry faces which left no room spare in their bellies...
