Today’s post will somewhat lack the smart aleck, wisecracking, humor filled, slightly malicious tone you guys have come to expect from me. I hope you forgive me, but it has been a very emotional & draining week for the family. However! This post is not a pity party, nor is it a memorial to those …

I looked back on my last post, and saw that I had not posted since the beginning of the month! Whoops, sorry! But I have an excuse: WE WERE ON VACATION! Right before our vacation, we played at the Chaminade Alumni Lu’au! Sweetie Pacarro from KSSK (and Chaminade Alumna) was emcee, and we played for …
I’m happy to report that in order to feature Alex more in the band, we have changed our name to “ManoaAND” and placed Alex’s name at the head of the table! This is to not only satisfy his leadership in the group, but also his desire to be in the spotlight.
