Rehearsal cancelled tonight due to wild, gusty weather

Mar1

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!

Back on line but having a good time

Feb3

Thanks to the rapid spread of the omicron variant, we went back on line in January and will continue holding online rehearsals on Zoom on Wednesday nights from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. through February 9.

Please contact naleolanichorus [at] gmail.com for Zoom link:

  • When we do return in person (hopefully from February 17 onward!), our rehearsals will be on Thursday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. In keeping with state public health guidelines, we require all attendees of our in-person rehearsals to show a one-time proof of vaccination against Covid-19 and sing masked (a singer’s mask, N-95, or KN-95 mask is preferred if you have one). Thank you for your understanding as we work to ensure that all of our members, young and old, can sing together in the safest feasible conditions.

Until then, we are having a good time online. In addition to working on the songs that we will be singing for our SAI International contest recording in May, we enjoy lots of laughs competing with each other for the best interpretation of our weekly themes. This week’s theme was “what’s your Chinese Zodiac animal?”

We look forward to welcoming visitors and prospective members again, so please email us at naleolanichorus@gmail.com if you would like to join us. 

Sheep, monkeys, rabbits, tigers, horses, and more!

Thank you for helping to make our Panda Express fundraiser a success

Jan19

Many thanks to all of you who ordered online from Panda Express for Lunar New Year on February 1 and used fundraiser code 906118 during online checkout. Na Leo Lani received 28% of sales. The proceeds will go toward the costs of our SAI International contest recording in May.

We will hold another Panda Express fundraiser later in the year, so save your hankerings for orange chicken and egg rolls, because your chance to order Panda online and support Na Leo Lani at the same time will come again soon! Thank you!
