The joint Birthday Bash event for Kaimuki, Kalani, McKinley, and Roosevelt High Schools' Class of '69 was held on Saturday, July 23, 2011 at the Japanese Cultural Center's Manoa Ballroom. Over 225 alumni and friends from the four schools enjoyed interaction, food, casino games, and live music by the Beat Boys. But with the special appearance of the legendary Calientes at the end of the night, the bash went from a good party to an EPIC event.
