IMPORTANT TOUR UPDATE ANNOUNCEMENT!

If you have not sent in your tour application and pledge yet - please be sure to do so prior to February 20th to reserve your spot - Don’t let this opportunity of a life-time pass you buy.

Due to continuing negotiations with several airlines, we are still not ready to announce a tour price yet.  We are working diligently to secure the best average of all air fares available for the group.  Thus, we need to postpone the announcement of the tour prices to February 21, 2018 - one day after all tour pledges are due. By doing this, we also will have a better idea of the volume and size of our group.

The first tour payment or cancellation notice has also been pushed back to March 15, 2018 (not February 15).   You still have plenty of time in between to consider if you want to go forward once the tour price and package details has been announced.

Meanwhile music and instructions are posted on the website.  Weekend HASMB rehearsals on each island are about to commence.   Please check the website for details!
