2015 Pearl City Complex Music Festival at Pearl City High School

 

The beautiful sounds of music filled the Pearl City High Gymnasium on Saturday during the annual Pearl City Complex Music Festival hosted by the PCHS Band under the direction Mr. Chadwick Kamei. Nine schools from the Pearl City District Complex participated in the music festival.

New to this year's music festival were the wonderful voices of the Pearl City High School Chorus who performed numbers from the musical ANNIE. They were awesome!

All the student singers and musicians from the Pearl City Complex who performed were incredible! Great job!
