What happened to the group 'Forte'?

[adrian]

Someone at school mentioned that they saw someone who looked like one of the members at school a few weeks ago (@ Heald College). From what I heard, she was getting her medical degree.

Anyone knows what their doing now?

they died of embarrassement when they realised their group name
Forté
has no meaning.

Kimo55 would have been a cool name for a group :D ALL coverbands died of embarrassment.

Anyone knows what their doing now?Not sure if they're still making music as a band. Googling about, the last "Forte" album I can find came out in 2002 ("Montage," their third - here's a profile of the guys who put it together (http://starbulletin.com/2002/10/25/features/story6.html)), and among the most recent references to them I can find is this 2003 concert (http://starbulletin.com/2003/02/24/news/story7.html) at Kapiolani Park.

The individual members of the band were Kristina Acidera (Moanalua HS, Leeward CC), Joanne Banda (Pearl City HS, Honolulu CC), Marlene Baldueza (Punahou) and Gissele Tejada (Leilehua HS, Kapiolani CC). Looks like Acidera still performs regularly (http://www.honoluluweekly.com/calendar/gigs/) with a group called "Stardust" with Rocky Brown and Brian Robertshaw. Marlene Baldueza apparently went solo (http://starbulletin.com/2004/07/16/features/berger.html). Gissele Tejada went into... er, modeling. (Google it yourself.) Not sure about the rest.

A sly innuendo if ever I saw one. :D

[tutusue]

Forte disbanded awhile back. Yes, Marlene did go solo and has local gigs. One member lives in Las Vegas. Not sure about the other 2.

A medical degree at Heald seems unlikely.

[pzarquon]

A medical degree at Heald seems unlikely.Well, they have medical-ish programs (http://www.heald.edu/campus_locations/campus_honolulu.htm#programs) -- medical assisting, medical office administration, health IT and dental assistant. But yeah, you ain't gettin' an M.D. from Heald. A sly innuendo if ever I saw one.Heh. Yeah, well... proof that you never know what's going to pop up in Google.

I checked out your link. Wow talk about some hotties man.

[Pua'i Mana'o]

at least have the courtesy to say "the link not work safe", k? Leave it to me to intuit da buggah myself.

And, because I am not Scrivvy and lack the need to look at some nekkid girlie, just tell us: is da girl nekkid?

[Palolo Joe]

Well, judging by previous posts, it seems pretty darn clear to me we're talking about eye candy.

If you "lack the need" to look if she nekkid... then don't ask.

FWIW, the link itself is perfectly fine for work. Just don't click on any of the results.

:cool:

[Pua'i Mana'o]

Not one of the Forte girls, but she is from Hawaii.
