Hapasymphony Honolulu Concert reviews
too varied, too many people lacking talent
"Even a solid risk taker wouldn't have liked to hear the very poor performance of the second high school group. Their best numbers were great, but not real suited for New Years Eve, and they didn't try to intro them or tie them together to help the audience make any connections. The variety was overwhelming, and the whole concert never found a core theme or element that tied it together; especially in the numbers that Hapasymphony did alone. It was an uncomfortable combo of occasional delight with fear that performers wouldn't make it to the end of their part that makes this performance very hard to recommend. Come on Hapasymphony! You know how to do this very well, it was New Year's Eve! People wanted high energy and wow and celebration."
