LIHU‘E — Members of the Kapa‘a Middle School Choir and ‘Ukulele Band offered shoppers some holiday cheer on Sunday during its “Singing for Tips” fundraiser at the Walmart and Safeway stores.
The event had the middle school students singing while manning fishnets to collect “tips” from shoppers to help with the group’s upcoming trip to the Heritage Music Festival in California, scheduled for next spring.
