Windward Symphony. The orchestra now includes musicians from all
'walks of life', who live somewhere between Kahuku and Hawaii
Kai. The Oahu Civic Orchestra is a volunteer, community orchestra
which provides the opportunity for amateur musicians to perform
classical, pop, and contemporary music. The mission of the Oahu

to challenge, develop and enjoy their musical skills by regularly
attending rehersals and participating in performances of music
in the community. It is also Chaminade

Above Links are to midi files, which are useful to practice with! Or to .mp3 excerpts if available.
If you use a Mac, the free EasyBeat demo allows you to regulate the tempo of the midi playback to your liking while watching the music go by. Ronimusic's Amazing Slow Downer allows you to slow down a CD (or mp3 file) up to 400% so you can practice with it! Their Sweet Midi Player allows you to pan any midi channel easily between left and right so you can put your part on one channel and the rest on the other.
