Royal Hawaiian Band

Founded in 1836 by King Kamehameha III, the Royal Hawaiian Band is the only band in the US with a royal legacy, and is the only full-time municipal band in the country. The band plays all over Oʻahu (check the calendar online), including a free concert most Fridays at noon at ʻIolani Palace.
