US Pacific Fleet band perform at FNU Raiwai Campus

The US Pacific Fleet band is part of the group from the US Naval Ship Mercy who are in the country under the 2015 Pacific Partnership initiative.

They received an overwhelming response and also performed in front of the Fiji National University Brass Band and the Fiji Police Force band.

This included a performance from the Woodwind quintet, a Guitar Trio and their New Orleans style Brass band.

Band Conductor Lieutenant Patrick Sweeten says today’s performance at FNU will be a lasting memory which they will cherish forever.

Fijivillage also spoke some of musicians in US Pacific Fleet band and this is what they had to say.

Meanwhile, second year music student Mataiasi Dralimaki who plays the trumpet for the FNU brass band says he has learnt a lot from just watching their performance.

The group will also be performing tomorrow at the Health and Wellness Fair at Ratu Sukuna Park.
