Default Taking the wife out on a date tonight...

And we are watching the original Star Wars! Yeah sounds like a lame date except, the HONOLULU Symphony Orchestra will be playing the score. Can’t wait will let you guys know how it went. [emoji4]

That would really be something to hear. Orchestras are amazing.

Great on three levels!


1. Taking your wife out on a date!
2. Orchestra!
3. Classic movie!

Thanks guys it truly was a special night! If your local orchestra does something similar, I highly recommend to go. It was absolutely amazing the level of perfection and professionalism. Many times I actually forgot the orchestra was playing because it was so perfect. What an experience! I wish I could take more pics and/or video, but there was a strict no pictures policy.

No guitars though, but there was a harp player. [emoji23]

It sounds like fun, but was it necessary to go all the way Hawaii for this? The London Symphony Orchestra is the Holy Grail of Star Wars symphonic performances.

FWIW, we went to the Polynesian Heritage Center and went to the luau. Then we went on a tour of the USS Missouri and the USS Arizona memorial. I had to drag her on the latter, but it was a very moving experience for me at least.

Lol I guess I’m lucky I live here. Those places you went are a must if you visit Oahu. The AZ Memorial is powerful stuff. Hope you check the Missouri and Bowfin submarine too. There’s also an aviation museum.
