The Rough Riders—Henry Kapono, Brother Noland and John Cruz—spent Thursday, Jan. 7, visiting schools and social service agencies as part of the Maui Arts & Cultural Center’s Artists in the Community program.

The appearances yesterday preceded tonight’s Rough Riders’ concert in the MACC’s Castle Theater.

The schedule included Baldwin High School, Seabury Hall, Aloha House and the Hale A Ke Ola Resource Center. At Baldwin High, they appeared before a group of guitar and Hawaiian language students. At Seabury Hall, they met with a music and Hawaiian language students.
