Rehearsal cancelled tonight due to wild, gusty weather

Hang onto your hats, ladies! Na Leo Lani’s rehearsal tonight, March 1, 2023 is cancelled due to unexpectedly challenging winter weather. With traffic lights out in various parts of the island, light posts and trees down in some neighborhoods, and winds gusting at 30 miles per hour, our Director, Chris, and the NLL Board agreed that we should put safety first.

Stay home and dry tonight, and we will see you next week instead.

NEW!: starting next week, our rehearsals will be every week on WEDNESDAYS — no more “second Wednesday on a Thursday” confusion! So we look forward to seeing everyone next week WEDNESDAY, March 8, at 6:00 p.m. at our usual rehearsal location at the Mo’ili’ili Hongwanji, 902 University Avenue, Honolulu.

It’s wild and windy out! Rehearsal tonight is cancelled to keep everyone safe. See you next week!

❤️ Come join us for Galentines! ❤️

New Year, Same Great Energy

The women of Na Leo Lani were back to rehearsal last night, having taken a two-week break after our busy holiday concert season. Some of us sported hats in honor of “National Hat Day” (who knew there was such a thing??). With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, we got to work immediately on a selection of love songs, before turning to a kinetic “intersectional” activity featuring each section’s selection of a favorite tune from our repertoire. We were joined by four enthusiastic guests, all of them repeat visitors, including our very own Jean Ashby (“Bones”), whose connections to Na Leo Lani date back forty years!

Performance among the Poinsettias

Na Leo Lani had a great time rolling out our holiday show for the public at Kahala Mall on December 8. We were joined on three songs by our Sing With Us for the Holidays guest. Afterwards, a large contingent headed over to The Counter for burgers and fries for our chorus fundraiser. Thank you, ladies, for all you do for Na Leo Lani, and thank you to our supportive audience at the mall.

Birthdays take the cake

At our last rehearsal of every month, we always celebrate chorus members’ birthdays with a birthday sash, a special “get to know you” question posed by our Birthday Captain, Wally, and a rousing round of Happy Birthday to You in our best barbershop style.

Our November birthday girl, Rosie!

This month’s birthday celebration coincided with National Cake Day,” which we marked with cake hats and more.
