For quite a few years the Sounds of Aloha proudly provided music for the annual Mayor's Memorial Day Ceremony at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific at Pūowaina (Punchbowl). The COVID pandemic interrupted that tradition for a couple of years, and we resorted to a virtual tribute.

This year the event is back on! Monday, May 30, starting at 8:30 a.m. We are eager to share our music again with those gathering to commemorate the sacrifices of so many. If you've never attended the ceremony, it's quite an experience, in a moving setting adorned with thousands of flags and lei. Speaking of which, the organizers have put out an urgent call for more sewing and donations of lei. Read about that, and the event, here.
