Aloha Music Festivals provide students in various instrumental and choral ensembles the opportunity to strive for musical excellence in their performances. We provide Nationally recognized and respected adjudicators and clinicians at each performance venue in order to offer each student and director excellent educational experiences and musical growth.

Concert Bands, Jazz Ensembles, Orchestras and Choirs may decide to attend our festivals for a rating only, for competition or for just the opportunity to perform for an audience at various locations. Each group will have a warm-up period before its performance. Rules and sample score sheets will be sent to each participating school once it has been established that they will be competing.

Music Exchange Program , Aloha Music Festivals can arrange a music exchange program with a high school musical ensemble like your own, if you so desire. This program will offer you the opportunity to listen to and perform for a Hawaiian high school musical ensemble, have time to visit with students for a cultural and musical exchange of ideas, and observe how Hawaiian schools cultivate their music programs.

We get compliments: -----Original Message----- From: Mr Jeff Tarr [mailto:jwtaxxx@yahoo.com] Sent: Sunday, April 25, 2010 5:31 PM To: Aloha Music Festivals Subject: Docksider trip Hi Dov, Just a note to let you know how happy we were with the trip to Honolulu this week. Everything could not have gone better, from the time we first contacted you to send 28 band members and 22 chaperone's to Hawaii till getting off the flight in Boston. You and Joanne did a wonderful job putting this together, and gave us the best deal for our dollar. The hotel you booked for us was in a great location and the staff very accommodating. Randi at Jimmy Buffet's gave us excellent breakfast for 50 every morning. on our last night, he put together a good menu for dinner. The food was excellent,and the portions were just right. He was on his game. Robert, Knox, and Harold, our ground people, were the BEST. They were very knowledgeable and stayed with us all the way. They had all of the necessary equipment ready to go at each venue. They cared about us and thoroughly enjoyed each one of our performances. The students had one fine time. From 42 of us climbing Diamond Head to playing at the USS Missouri to the Hard Rock and Polynesian Cultural Center performance, to para sailing and snorkeling, these activities and cultural experiences will be remembered for a long time. Please enjoy the photos of our trip, as we'll be truly grateful for your professionalism and memories for our students. We look foward to our next trip in 2 years. Best Regards, Jeff Tarr ,Trip Coordinator Gloucester HS Docksiders

Important: Aloha Music Festivals does not provide changing areas for each participating school at our festivals or tours. We are limited to the areas we are able to use at our performance sites and therefore cannot honor a request of this type. Dressing rooms are not available at performance sites, but bathrooms can be used for changing purposes. Keep in mind that everyone will be using these bathrooms - please keep changing needs to a minimum. We strongly suggest that your group arrive at the performance site in their concert attire. Make sure that all tour participants have a proper health and accident insurance while on the tour. Aloha Music Festivals does not provide on-site medical staff. We suggest you bring a registered nurse or doctor along with you on the trip.
