After the recent Hawaii Army National Guard Change of Command, BG Kenneth Hara and BG Moses Kaoiwi took the stage to sign with the musical group Na Koa. Both generals grew up in Hilo and they sang the Hawaii Island song, Hilo March.

In this photograph are (L-R): SPC Kameron Omizu (bass), SGT Jeffrey Domingo (keyboards), BG Kenneth Hara (singing), SSG Bryan Sanchez (drums), BG Moses Kaoiwi (singing), and CW4 Jeremiah “JP” Paragon (guitar).

Joseph Kapaeau Ae‘a, a member of the Royal Hawaiian Band composed the song in 1881, and bandmaster Henry Berger arranged it as a march. It has been adopted as the island song of the Big Island, Hawai’i.
