On Monday, November 21st, on the grounds overlooking the
Pearl Harbor, the Panther Marching Band played a series of war related songs in honor of the historical time period. Afterwards, the crew took a walk back in time to the 1941 bombing of Pearl Harbor and honor those who died unexpectedly. As a part of our visit to Pearl Harbor, a PHS wreath was laid at the USS Arizona's wall with the 1,177 names of the dead.
