My school, University High School, grades K-12, until recently a teacher training school for UH, held its graduation ceremonies in Andrews Amphitheater. As a member of the band, every year, except when I graduated, we performed at the ceremonies. That performance, included of course, Pomp and Circumstance. The amphitheater is a lovely venue.
Aloha. My name is Ellen. I have a nun friend who likes the dried flowers of merremia tuberosa. Where can I get the plant or the seeds? Can you help me? You can also give me the name of your landscaper and I will give them a call. Thank you.
For this, you’ll need to contact the Andrews Amphitheater directly. We only chronicle the Amphitheater as a New Deal site.
