We have finally returned from our visit with ʻohana. Ua mākaukau māua to move forward with this upcoming hoʻolauleʻa as well as Septemberʻs classes. I encourage everyone, participating or not, to attend the August 31 Hoʻolauleʻa at Chibana golf course starting at 5pm. There will be keiki games and activities, our Hula and Tahitian performance, as well as music and fire knife dancers.
For those participating in the Hoʻolauleʻa, thank you for coming to practice last night. The following are the other rehearsal dates:
- 8/25 Sat, 9:00-12:00pm (please bring costumes)
- 8/26 Sun, 10:15-11:15am (regular practice)
- 8/27 Mon, 7:30-9:00pm (not mandatory for keiki)
- 8/30 Thu (tentative, Time TBA) - placement only
- 8/31 Fri, show has been changed to 6:00-7:00pm. We are supposed to show by 3:00pm for placement, but I will leave this decision to you and will not enforce your keikiʻs early arrival/removal from school. I will have tape markers on the stage prior to the show and can briefly show them their placement before the show begins. Please be at Chibana NLT 5:00pm with keiki ready to perform their first number.
Please also continue practicing with your keiki. I have made the following adjustments to the line-up:
- Tutu E: Kieanna, Emily, Sienna (floral dress, yellow lei, flower, and water bottle) (I have the flowers)
- Ulupalakua: Kaleo, Jaydin, Kapiliala, Reina (hat, flower, pink lei, button shirt, and jeans) (I have the flowers & Alicia has brought in pink lei to the studio)
- Te Manu: Kaleo, Jaydin, Emily, Kapiliala, Kieanna, Sienna, Reina (shell lei, flower, yellow sarong, and hip band) (I will bring in Saturday)
- Mele ʻOhana: Reina, Emily, Kieanna, Sienna, Jaydin, Kaleo, Kapiliala (white paʻu top, red paʻu bottom, ti leaf lei, flower) (Please read prior email on costume costs or lending, and I will demonstrate ti leaf lei this Sunday)
Please email if you have any questions. I will send out further instructions for costumes shortly.
