The Texan Band of Wimberley High School represented the state of Texas in a parade marking the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam war on the island of Oahu. Held March 29, the Texan band, along with veterans, military units and community groups, traced a route along King Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki to the foot of the Diamond Head Crater.
On March 31, the band performed on the deck of the USS Missouri. WHS Band Director John Winebrenner said he “couldn’t be more proud that our band was recognized in this way for this once in a lifetime opportunity.”
