 Greetings, I'm a musician in second class, Stephen Hux, a member of the Pacific Fleet Band on Pacific Partnership 2012. Today we had a performance at the University of St. Thomas in downtown Manila, Philippines. Then after that we broke off into groups by instrument where we were able to show some technical fundamentals for some of the music students. Hopefully those skills would be able to enhance their musical experiences. I feel very grateful to be a part of this mission. It's a very humbling experience, very eye-opening experience to be able to not only connect with people from around the world on a personal level, but also on a musical level.
