BANDING TOGETHER
Among the distinguished guests raising their glasses to the US were British Consul General Caroline Wilson, James Tien, Elsie Leung, Sophia Kao-lo, Laila Harilela, Peter Lam and Anson Chan. As a special treat, one of the US Navy’s 11 fleet bands, the Seventh Fleet Band based in Yokosuka, Japan, entertained the gathering with a rousing performance. The band provides musical support for ships, military bases, foreign dignitaries and community-relations events in the Western Pacific region.
