YOU CAN SEE THE LIGHTS OF
FIRST RESPONDERS.
WE DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE IS
INJURED.
WE WILL STAND TOP OF IT.
SWITCHING GEARS NOW.
YOU MAY HAVE SEEN "STAR WARS" --
THE HAWAII SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA IS
PLANNING SOMETHING REALLY COOL.
IT IS A CONCERT TO MAKE YOU
FEEL LIKE YOU ARE PART OF THE
MOVIE.
THAT'S RIGHT.
I LOVE "STAR
WARS," WATCHED ALL
THE MOVIES, BUT I HAVE NEVER
WATCHED THE MOVIES BEING
ACCOMPANIED BY AN ORCHESTRA
GIVING THE SOUNDS AND THE MUSIC
TO THE MOVIE.
THIS SOUNDS SO EXCITING AND THAT
IS WHAT IS GOING TO BE TAKING
PLACE TOMORROW AND SATURDAY HERE
AT THE BLAISDELL CONCERT HALL,
THE HAWAII CONCERT -- SYMPHONY
ORCHESTRA WILL BE PLAYING ALONG
WITH "STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE."
LET'S GET STRAIGHT INTO THIS
WITH RUDY AND JASON, ALONG WITH
EVERYBODY ELSE BEING HERE.
WHAT IS SO SPECIAL OR UNIQUE FOR
AN AUDIENCE PERSON TO WATCH THIS
MOVIE WITH THE SOUNDS
AND THE
MUSIC INSTEAD OF FROM THE MOVIE
ITSELF?
WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT THAT IS
THAT "STAR WARS" WOULD NOT BE
"STAR WARS" WITHOUT THE THEME AT
THE BEGINNING.
WE HAVE HERDED AND RECORDINGS,
MOVIE THEATERS, BUT TO HEAR IT
WITH A LIVE ORCHESTRA IS GOING
TO BE SO MUCH MORE SOUND AND SO
EXCITING AND WE THINK THE
AUDIENCE IS GOING TO HAVE A
GREAT TIME.
FOR YOU GUYS TO BE
PARTICIPATING IN THIS, WHAT IS
SO UNIQUE FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO
BE PLAYING THIS MUSIC WITH THIS
MOVIE?
IT HITS ME ON TWO LEVELS.
ONE JUST BEING A FAN.
I WAS BORN IN 1976,
SO "STAR
WARS" WHEN I WAS A KID WAS THE
BIGGEST THING.
I PLAYED WITH THE TOYS, I
REMEMBER WATCHING "RETURN OF THE
JEDI" WHEN IT CAME OUT.
THAT IS A CONTINUATION OF THAT
FOR ME.
IT IS SO FUN TO DO SOMETHING
"STAR WARS," BUT AS A BRASS
PLAYER, THIS IS ICONIC BRASS
MUSIC.
AS I DISCOVERED THAT I LOVED
PLAYING TROMBONE, "STAR WARS"
WAS ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS I
NOTICED WITH GREAT TROMBONES.
TO GET TO PLAY THAT AND
RE-CREATE THAT IS JUST A THRILL
FOR US AS BRASS PLAYERS.
I HEAR THE COMPOSER OF THIS
MUSIC IS PRETTY SIGNIFICANT AS
WELL.
I THINK THE GREATEST FILM
COMPOSER OF ALL TIME.
ALL OF THE "STAR WARS"
MOVIES,
BUT ALSO "ET," "RAIDERS OF THE
LOST ARK," "JURASSIC PARK." EVEN
IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW IT, YOU ARE
PROBABLY A HUGE FAN OF JOHN
WILLIAMS.
RIGHT IN.
THIS STARTS TOMORROW, BUT YOU
HAVE SHOWS ON SATURDAY.
WHAT ARE THE TIMES AND THE
DATES?
AND IF PEOPLE WANT TO GET
TICKETS?
SURE, WE HAVE A SHOW FRIDAY
NIGHT AND WE HAVE A MATINEE ON
SATURDAY AT 2:00 AND THEN AT
8:00 IN THE EVENING ON SATURDAY.

WE ASKED FOR THEM TO COME
HERE BECAUSE WE WANT TO GIVE YOU
A SNEAK PEEK OF WHAT IT ACTUALLY
SOUNDS LIKE TO HEAR THE MUSIC
AND OF COURSE "ICONIC -- OF
COURSE ICONIC "STAR WARS BE A I
WILL SIGN OFF NOW AND HERE IS A
LITTLE SNEAK PEEK FROM THE
HAWAII SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.
♪
SO THERE IS ONE PERSON IN
THIS ROOM WHO MAY KNOW THIS
MUSIC MORE THAN THOSE GUYS.
JUSTIN: THAT WOULD BE ME.
THAT GAVE ME CHICKEN SKIN.
WHAT PART OF THE MOVIE DOES
THAT SONG PLAY IN?
JUSTIN: THAT WAS IN THE FIRST
STAR WARS MOVIE, "A NEW HOPE,"
THAT IS THE END WHEN LUKE
SKYWALKER, HAN SOLO, JULIE
--
CHEWY, PRINCESS LEIA,
IT IS WHEN
THEY GET MEDALS AT THE END.
WAY TO GO.
JUSTIN: I HAVE A LOT INVESTED
INTO THE SERIES.
