The West HawaiШаблон:Okinai County Band, based in Kailua-Kona on the Kona Coast of HawaiШаблон:Okinai Island, is an independent sub-unit of the Hawai'i County Band. As a civic band The West HawaiШаблон:Okinai County Band can be heard at regular monthly concerts in Kailua-Kona as well as performing in numerous parades and civic events on the west side of HawaiШаблон:Okinai Island.

History

The HawaiШаблон:Okinai County Band was founded in 1883 by two brothers from Portugal, Joaquin and Jules Carvalho. They emigrated from the Azores and made a living as barbers in Hilo, on the island of HawaiШаблон:Okinai. The brothers would close their barbershop, perform at scheduled concerts and go back to cutting hair afterwards. Joaquin was the conductor and Jules played the cornet.

The band survived the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1893 and the period of the Republic of Hawaii (1894–1898). It was absorbed by the newly created County of HawaiШаблон:Okinai during the territorial period (1898–1959). It was known as the Hilo Band (or the Hilo Portuguese Band). After the creation of the county system in the Territory of Hawaii in 1900 it officially became the HawaiШаблон:Okinai County Band in 1905.

After Joaquin died in 1924, the band had several directors. Urban Carvalho, son of co-founder Jules Carvalho, led the band from 1943 to 1963. Frank Vierra went on to become the director of the Royal Hawaiian Band.

Some members have been with the band for many years. One exceptional trombonist in his eighties has been with the band continuously for over 60 years. The West HawaiШаблон:Okinai County Band also includes a number of volunteer musicians including retired professional musicians, music teachers and others from all walks of life.

Uniforms

The uniform for the HawaiШаблон:Okinai County Band is a red and white aloha shirt. Cross-striped fabric patterns, similar to those of Scottish kilts, were imported from England in the late 19th century as uniforms for the workers on the sugarcane plantations in Hawaii and are still popular apparel among the locals in Hawaii.
