The 2008 Roosevelt Marching Band from Honolulu, Hawaii has a unique and innovative Marching Band Program. This year the Marching Band presented a program of the blues. Don't get the wrong idea The Roosevelt Marching Band did not start playing the blues, they played in blue! That's right, the 80 plus members of the Award Winning Roosevelt High School Marching used Mehron Makeup to turn their band BLUE.
It was a daunting task for the novice makeup users to turn their 80 plus Band Members Blue, but they did succeed not once but three times as they presented their program at three different events. The reason that the Roosevelt High School Marching Band decided to make themselves blue was their song selection, for their first song they played, "Sketches in Blue", their second number was, "Passions in Blue", and their final number was "Rhythm in Blue".
Besides hours of grueling practice which keeps the Roosevelt Marching Band from Honolulu, Hawaii in demand at major events including New Year's Eve in London, England, this daring group of performers endured hours of Makeup Application in order to carry the Blue Theme through their Performance in not only music but in presentation.
With tips offered by Shelli Farber, Education Manager of Mehron, the volunteers spent hours turning their Band Member into Blue People for their performances at the University of Hawaii Rainbow Invitational, Kamehameha Tournament of Bands and Mililani Bandfest. These enduring Band Members selected Mehron Makeup, the Makeup that has endured performances since 1927.
This amazing group of High School Students who have practiced for countless hours to become a precision marching band, showed remarkable patience and cooperation as novice makeup artists became experts in turning them blue over the course of the three performances.
