COUGAR BAND STUDENTS TAKE THEIR TALENTS TO KAGOSHIMA!
Congratulations to Kaiser Band students Ryo Ooi, Kole Pureza and Lucas Magel who played marimba at the Sakurajima Community Festival in Japan last weekend. The trip was motivated by Ryo's previous performance of "Eruption of Sakurajima" at the Niu Valley's Music Olympics in 2024.
In addition to Ryo's encore of that piece, they performed three other pieces:
"Summer" – Ryo & Lucas
"Ashitaka and San" – Kole & Lucas
"Home by Sundown" – Ryo, Kole & Lucas
We're so proud of our talented Cougars who are sharing their musical abilities all the way to Kagoshima Japan!
