Continuing class plays the Ukulele Mele Way
Some of us started in January 2009 with the first Ukulele Beyond the Basics 6-month class. Graduates became members of the Alumni Club for a lifetime of ‘ukulele fun and fellowship. We performed as the Kaunoa Ukulele Band with our first Christmas concert at Kaunoa Senior Center in 2009 and then renamed ourselves as the Maui Ukulele Pops Band for our first show at the Wailuku Hongwanji in 2010. Cheers to continued fun playing music together!
