PACAF’s “Hana Hou” band performs at Vietnamese New Year celebration

(From left) Master Sgt. Lara Murdzia, Senior Airman Devin Rivas-Martin, and Tech. Sgt. Tamiko Boone, vocalists from the Pacific Air Forces Band of the Pacific’s “Hana Hou” ensemble from Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, perform Feb. 3 on the bandstand at Kapiolani Park in Honolulu, Hawaii, during the Vietnamese New Year celebration. Known in Vietnamese by its shortened name, “T?t Nguyên Ðán,” the celebration marks the first day of the lunar new year and serves as an opportunity for Vietnamese-Americans to worship ancestors, be with family, and forget the troubles of the past year while hoping for a better new year.
