Ho, it's Merrie Monarch time again already! I'll try to watch as much as I can but other commitments will probably keep me down to one night only - if I have to choose, it'll be the kahiko performances on Friday.

Re: Merrie Monarch Festival
Love it. We tape it every year for my in-laws in Florida. I like the Kahiko too, but I'll watch everything if I can.
This year, a friend's kids will be performing, so we'll be watching specifically for them. (They're in "Halau Ke Kia'i A 'O Hula," led by Kumu Kapiolani Hao, performing both in Kahiko on Friday and Auana on Saturday.) Is there anyone you're specifically watching for?
KITV will be covering it live, starting tonight. You can also watch it streamed over the web through TheHawaiiChannel.com.

Re: Merrie Monarch Festival
Aue. Karen, now I see, it was from your site that I cribbed the halau and kumu names. I could follow Kimo's excited reading of the groups and scores on TV just fine, but I knew I wasn't going to transcribe the performers names correctly, so I "borrowed" them.
Bad form, I know, for both a "web guy" and a journalism grad. I should've known better, and at least given credit where credit was due. My apologies.
To all browsing through, Karen Sabog's Merrie Monarch Archive is all you need. I shouldn't even have tried.
