An iconic band plays an iconic brand when “Hollywood Meets Hawaii” in CBS’s promotional campaign for Hawaii Five-0, featuring the USC Trojan Marching Band performing the series’ theme song on Waikiki Beach and interacting with stars Grace Park and Daniel Dae Kim.
The music video was shot on location at the band’s home field in Los Angeles as well as picturesque Waikiki Beach in Honolulu during the Trojan’s September 2nd visit to Hawaii for USC’s kick-off game of the 2010 college football season against the University of Hawaii Warriors.
Through the years, The Trojan Marching Band has appeared in over 100 movies and television shows and multiple times on the Academy Awards and Grammy Awards. They have visited 17 countries, marched in 16 Rose Parades and traveled to every USC Football game since 1987—a streak of 284 and counting.
Hawaii Five-0 is a contemporary take on the classic series about an elite federal task force, whose mission is to wipe out the crime that washes up on the Islands’ sun-drenched beaches. The series premieres Monday, Sept. 20th, at 10:00 PM Eastern and Pacific Time, on CBS. Hawaii Five-0 stars Alex O’Loughlin as Detective Steve McGarrett, Scott Caan as Detective Danny “Danno” Williams, Daniel Dae Kim as Chin Ho Kelly, and Grace Park as Kono Kalakaua. Peter Lenkov, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are executive producers for the new show.
