OAHU, HI (NewsDakota.com)- The Jamestown High School band and Choir participated in the Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade in Hawaii this week, honoring those who served and their families, as well as those currently serving in the U.S. military.

Funded by the Jamestown Public Schools Music Boosters in September, the support covered travel and hotel expenses for 88 students, including baggage fees for their instruments.

These students, invited to the parade as the Governor’s Choir for 2022-23, earned this recognition based on musical talent, achievement, and community involvement.

Beyond the parade, they’ll attend a ceremony at the Pearl Harbor National Memorial on Oahu, visit the Polynesian Cultural Center, and spend time at the beach. The choir will also have a separate performance at the Battleship Missouri Memorial.

Their stay in Hawaii lasts from Dec. 5-9.
