Keiki from the program at the Kilauea Elementary School, performing preview numbers from the production, were just part of the fundraising event benefiting the Kapaa Middle School Choir and Ukulele Band, Saturday at the Keiki Aloha Fest held at the Kauai Veterans Center with an offering of lunch wagons, crafters, and a live painting class.
A steady crowd of people flowed through the gates that opened to performances to keiki groups such as the Na Hoku O Kaumuali‘i, the Chiefess Kamakahelei ‘Ukulele ensemble, the Koloa Elementary School choir, and ‘ukulele band, the Chiefess Kamakahelei Middle School Choir, the Wilcox Elementary Creative Arts, Kapaa Elementary School Kid Fit, Joyful Noise taiko ensemble, Ka Waikahe Lani Malie hula, and of course, the hosting Kapaa Middle School Choir and Ukulele Band who will be traveling to the Heritage Music Festival in California in March. The offering was further enhanced with appearances of Showtime Characters and the KUGA group.
