2011 Mar 28

Adrian Dimas from Storm Lake, traveled to Hawaii over spring break with the Buena Vista University jazz band. The group performed at two shopping malls in Honolulu.

Fifteen students, under the direction of Dr. David Klee, associate professor of music as well as Jerry Bertrand, associate professor of music and Al Yeager went on the trip.

The band performed at the Ala Moana Center and the Royal Hawaiian Center. They also had the opportunity to attend a luau at Paradise Cove, visit the Arizona Memorial and take a tour of Honolulu.

The music student cost for the trip is partially paid through a travel scholarship endowed by the estate of Irene Albrecht, a BVU alum who was a prominent pianist and vocal coach in California.

Dimas is a senior majoring in music at BVU.
