Some key details:
All adult participants are required to complete the Kamehameha Schools Volunteer Application, which includes a background check. This is necessary because current KS students will be participating in some rehearsals and performances.
Volunteer clearance must be completed prior to attending your first rehearsal or performance. You can find the application and instructions here: KS Hawaiʻi Volunteer Registration
