Aloha,
I am the Band Director for the Kamehameha Schools in Honolulu and am also directing the Hawaii All-State Marching band which will be appearing in this years Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade in Novemeber. We are playing a specially arranged medley of Masese and Tahiti-Tahiti on the street and will do Pate-Pate as our feature number. Our arranger Mr. Siuai Laufou cannot find the composer name and any publisher names for copyright clearance to give Macys for the telecast. Hopefully, you can help with this question. Please respond asap. Also feel free to visit our website at http://home.oceanic.com
We will have at least a 400 piece band performing w.dancers. memnbers are from all schols on EVERY island
and will be quite unique to say the least.
mahalo for any help you can provide!
John Riggle.Director
