Almost 250 youth from across the United States have been on campus recently for the fourth annual Pacific Rim Children's Chorus Festival, which includes a unique international orientation, an acclaimed director and training at the Polynesian Cultural Center. Jeffrey Cooper, Managing Director of Pacific Rim Music Resources, which has put on the annual event in Laie for the past four years because of the unique confluence of Pacific Rim cultures here, explained the festival brings treble-voice children from grades 5-12 together for an "immersement educational experience." "We come to Laie because the Polynesian Cultural Center is a priceless resource," Cooper said. "It's the combination of this, the wonderful facilities at BYU-Hawaii and the Hawaii Youth Opera Chorus that makes this festival unique."
The former unofficial mayor of Laie spoke of the responsibilities that attend the community's unique historic and prophetic ties to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
