Students from many schools on Maui poured into the theater and sat staring with wonder at the instruments laid out on the stage. We were greeted with an exotic introduction, Halie Loren, the main singer, serenaded us with her very relaxing and soothing music played by her bandmates. Halie told us about her early life experiences, and how she came to live her dream. The band played sad music, and joyful music, as well as different interpretations of "Over The Rainbow" (by IZ). Literally, I was almost lulled me to sleep with her voice and rhythms because she was so talented. It was a great experience to watch a live jazz band!
