Rinken Band video
Rinken Band concert
September 1, 2007, 25th Okinawan Festival
Kapiolani Park (Waikiki, Hawaii)
I was so busy enjoying myself at the concert, that I didn’t take much footage for the video. Besides that, we were in the front row, so our view was somewhat obscured by sharp angle of the stage. We had great views of the drummers/singers in the front, but couldn’t see the Rinken Band’s newest drummer (a very talented 10-year-old!) and barely caught glimpses of Rinken Teruya and Tomoko Uehara — until they stepped closer to the edge of the stage. I also found that I was running very low on memory on my 2 GB card by that time! (Mental note: Buy another 2 GB SD card for next year!)
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this short glimpse of the Rinken Band concert!
A 30-something Christian girl, blissfully wedded to her perfect match (the yang to her yin) of 14 years. A new mom to her miracle baby, born on October 4, 2008. Living life in Hawaii, less than 5 miles from her hometown, a slave to her mortgage payment, but seeking balance in her pursuit of family, faith, recreation, and rest.
Hmm, maybe next time we shouldnt sit THAT close to the stage; and our audio wont be TOTALLY overdriven.
My audio is quite overdriven, and practically unusable.
[...] kinda late on this one (and I’ll get around to answering everyone’s emails soon). Donna has a clip up of Rinken Band performing at this year’s Okinawan Festival in Waikiki, [...]
