STUDENT STUDY TRIP TO TAHITI For two weeks this past summer twelve student drummers from Te Vevo Tahiti no Manoa (UHM Music Department's Tahitian music and dance ensemble) traveled to Tahiti as part of a special music study trip and were warmly hosted by the people of the Protestant church in Puna 'auia. Members of the Galilea Parish arranged a choral greeting at the airport, opened up their meeting hall to house the students "island style," prepared daily meals with wonderful Tahitian fare, planned special outings and feasts, and did everything possible to insure that the students would have a memorable experience. Under the direction of UHM music professor Jane Freeman Moulin, and with the assistance of visiting professor Timi Taupua, the students participated in a full schedule of events.
