I Ho’okahi Ka Mana’o - the 98th Song Contest

March 7, 2018

Join us on Friday, March 16 for the 98th annual Kamehameha Schools Song Contest. Pre-show at 6:30 p.m.; live competition at 7:30 p.m. on KGMB or streaming live at http://www.ksbe.edu/songcontest. 2018 marks the centennial of The Hawaiian Civic Club, established by Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalaniana‘ole in December 1918. As music is a cornerstone of Hawaiian cultural expression, each club selects their club mele along with a club flower, color and motto. Over the years, the ‘Aha Mele at civic club conventions have ranged from formal Hawaiian choral competitions to informal kani ka pila. This year’s choral competition brings the entire high school student body of Nā Kula ‘o Kamehameha ma Kapālama together in song to feature the mele ‘ahahui of 10 Hawaiian Civic Clubs.
