Join us out front at the Makawao Library for an evening performance from the U.S. Pacific Fleet Band.

Free, and located outdoors as weather allows. 5 PM Wednesday September 3rd.

The quintet combines the unique sounds of five different wind instruments and has an extensive repertoire that encompasses a wide range of musical genres from patriotic selections to classical favorites!

Established in 1943 as Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Pacific Fleet Band (Unit Band 56), the U.S. Pacific Fleet band operates from Joint Base pearl Harbor-Hickam in Hawaii. The band is comprised of 43 enlisted Navy musicians and two Limited Duty Officers.

The mission of the band is to provide musical services in support of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command and U.S. Pacific Fleet’s mission by performing official functions, community relations, morale and retention programs, and recruiting initiatives onboard ships, military bases, and various countries throughout its area of responsibility which encompasses 36 countries, from the West Coast of the Mainland United States to the western border of India; from the North Pole to Antarctica. It’s an area that covers 100 million square miles and over half of the world’s population!

First Wednesday of the Month,  Makawao Library –  5:30 PM

In the winter months when it is dark, this program will be held indoors in the Hawaiiana/computer area.

Program is intended for grown-up storytellers, this is not a keiki storytime. 

Program led by Maui Author and Artist Jim Lynch.

Come share stories with us at Makawao Library. Stories can be written by you or your favorite author. Oral storytelling is telling a story through voice and gestures. The tradition of oral storytelling is ancient and crosses cultures. The oral tradition can take many forms: epic poems, chants, rhymes, songs, and more – and can encompass personal experience, myths, legends, fables, religion, prayers, proverbs, and instructions.

This Free program is intended for adults or older children accompanied by an adult. Held in the Hawaiiana section or outdoors only as the weather allows.
