Off to contest!

May14

We had a fabulous experience last weekend performing for friends and family as a final preparation for our Region 12 Contest this weekend in Sparks, Nevada. As you can see from the photos below, a good time was had by all as we sang for our nearest and dearest. Everyone was wonderfully enthusiastic and supportive, which made us in turn sing our best. Thank you!

Special thanks to Mark Conching for his warm and insightful coaching, Adam LeFebvre for serving as our Friends and Family event emcee, Suzanne Chun-Oakland from the Lanakila Senior Center, where the event was held, and also to the marvelous Emma at the Mōʻiliʻili Hongwanji, where we rehearse every week.

Our Na Leo Lani singers are currently en route to Nevada for this weekend’s big event. Safe travels, ladies! Break a lip and put on a great show!

Sporting our favorite blue chiffon, we sang like angels!

Join us for our Friends and Family event!
