By Associated Press

HONOLULU (AP) — A Honolulu high school orchestra is headed to New York City's Carnegie Hall. KITV-TV says the Moanalua High School is scheduled to play at the prestigious concert hall on Easter concert. Moanalua High School senior Margaret Lee says she's overjoyed by the opportunity. She says it has been a lot of work to get to Carnegie Hall, but it's worth it. Orchestra leader Elden Seta says it's a privilege to get to play at Carnegie Hall. Seta has taken two other Moanalua orchestras to New York. The first was in 1998 and the second in 2005.
