The Morningstar Singers perform at the 2002 Section W4B Conclave.

As many of the youth of the Morningstar Singers have become adults, it was found necessary to reconstitute Cahuilla Lodge's singing and drum team into a new group. Under the leadership of advisers David Walsten and Phil Mandery, a new team has been born. In June 2004, the youth voted to name themselves the Rising Sun Drum Team. A new site will soon be launched with team, practice, and performance information.
