Band of the Pacific tours Australia! Published May 31, 2013 By SrA Brian Plank Band of the Pacific-Hawaii May 31, 2013 -- In February of this year, the members of the USAF Band of the Pacific - Hawaii flew off to Melbourne, Australia to perform for the 2013 Avalon Air Show. Thousands of people came from all over the country for the event and got to see the popular music ensemble Hana Hou! perform, right before the F-22 Raptor demonstration. While in Melbourne, members from Small Kine performed at the Royal Children's Hospital for a very excited crowd of children. The Papana jazz ensemble also had the privilege to perform for the United States' Ambassador to Australia. This was truly a wonderful tour that the USAF Band of the Pacific - Hawaii won't soon forget.
