Thank you for giving the public an opportunity to testify online. I am asking
that you do not support Councilwoman Ford's proposal to not fund the Hawaii
County Band. The Hawaii County Band, which started as the Hilo Portuguese
Band in 1883, has served the people of Hawaii continuously since then. The
Band has existed in the Kingdom of Hawaii, the Republic of Hawaii, the
Territory of Hawaii, and now, the State of Hawaii. The band has been an
important part of the history and culture of Hawaii Nei. I humbly ask you to
please fund the band and keep the tradition of the Hawaii County Band a part
of our island life.
Mahalo and Aloha.
