Guest Night fun in the spirit of Oktoberfest
At our September 29 rehearsal, Na Leo Lani was joined by three wonderful guests and celebrated autumn with an antic Oktoberfest-themed Guest Night — complete with team interpretations of Beer Barrel Polka, Hawai’i-style takes on Bavarian costume, and natürlich! a rousing Chicken Dance to top off the evening.
See the fun in the photos below.
Happy Birthday to our three September birthday gals!
A joyful return with Friends and Family
On September 18, Na Leo Lani joyfully presented its first Friends and Family concert in nearly three years. We had a wonderful turnout of enthusiastic supporters, including former NLL director Lars Isaacson and many singers from Sounds of Aloha and Honolulu Blend Show Chorus, as well as many warm and encouraging partners, spouses, parents, and extended ‘ohana.
Thank you to all who attended and joined in the fun! And thank you for your generous financial support of Na Leo Lani through your donations to our calabash bowl!

Anthems Afterglow
On August 15, Na Leo Lani sang the Star Spangled Banner and Hawaiʻi Ponoʻī at Ala Moana Hotel as part of the opening ceremony of the 2022 training conference of the National Association of State Directors of Veterans Affairs. It was a brisk but enjoyable performance — made even better by our afterglow breakfast at Liliha Bakery.
Talent night
In the spirit of summer fun, the ladies of Na Leo Lani had a blast in July showing off hidden talents in a members-only mini talent show. Entertainments included impromptu quartets, poignant folk tunes, a dramatic reading, and more. See below for pics of some of the evening’s entertainments.
to the tune of “Java Jive” 🙂
