An epic border lineup defeated our best plans to arrive in time for the festival opening (and Gregg Moore’s fabulous “Hawaii 5-0” workshop), but we pulled it together in classic Carnival Band style, with the group forming, growing and changing from one set to the next.
Wild dancing, fabulous guest percussionists, a joint set with the Yellow Hat Band, and a couple of impromptu jams in local businesses (Carnival Band in a barbershop? More pics later!), and that was all before 10pm.
