Go For Da Record... Hana Hou!

gofordarecord · Feb 21, 2012

With passion and enthusiasm we again invite all ukulele players in Hawaii and from cities and countries around the world to participate in an ukulele ensemble to be lead by Jake Shimabukuro at 4pm on Saturday, April 28, 2012 at the Neal S. Blaisdell arena in Honolulu, Hawaii. We are assembling the greatest possible number of ukulele players in an attempt to break a Guinness World Record! At our GOFORDARECORD event we will also be raising funds in order to bring attention to the needs and lack of funding of music and arts programs in Hawaii.

Should we succeed, The People of Hawaii will be the Guinness recognized *owners* of this new world record. More importantly, proceeds from this record-breaking event will be used in the purchase of hundreds of ukuleles and other musical "tools" for needed schools and programs for Hawaii's school children.

Everyone should experience the pure joy and happiness of the ukulele. In the words of Jake, Hawaii's ukulele virtuoso:
"If everyone played the ukulele, the world would be a better place."

Sounds like da kine idea. Would it count if I join in from the beach in SoCal at 7PM local time so I'd be in synch? I can't be there in person, but am totally down in spirit.

Great idea, and good luck on getting the record!

Thanks so much for this posting. I just made reservations to join you all. What a great reason for a plane trip to Honolulu. I might suggested several postings every now and then to gather more support. I was just wondering how many of the UU members are from Hawaii.

I will be there in spirit - now I just need to figure out the time difference between Hawaii and South Korea...

Trinimon · Mar 27, 2012

gofordarecord · Mar 27, 2012

"A big mahalo to all the ukulele-playing participants, performers, volunteers, sponsors and donors that made our 'Go For Da Record... Hana Hou!' ukulele world record attempt possible.

Although the challenge in breaking the ukulele world record has eluded us yet again, our true hope at Music For Life Foundation is that, through music and with these events, we raise money and awareness to the need... and importance of music in everyone's lives and how we can use music as a tool in creating programs and opportunities to enliven, enhance, enrich and empower communities and individuals.

The messages of the importance of music education for all schoolchildren and of keeping music and creativity alive in their hearts must continue to be heard and should remain as ongoing reminders of ways in which we can create brighter futures and develop life options for our children.

Music For Life moves forward now with its continuing mission of creating and fostering a better life for all of us through music.

Me ke aloha pumehana. Ka makani mau loa! (May the music live on!) "
