Christmas season may have passed, but its magic lingers on in this spirited video of “Kamehameha Kapālama is Lit,” a campus-wide drive-through Christmas light celebration. The event was planned and coordinated by the KS Kapālama Associated Students of Kamehameha Schools (ASKS) under the guidance of Student Leadership and Activities Director Andrew Lai. Kudos to Music and Technology Kumu Bailey Matsuda whose class wrote, recorded and produced the original song “This is Our Christmas” as the soundtrack for the video, and to Video Production kumu Leah Kihara and Will Nakao who shot and edited the video footage.
