Adorned in a sea of maile and flower lei, Mahi, the director of KAGC graciously led the group in some of the Club's most famous numbers including Hole Waimea, Puʻuwaʻawaʻa and Kamehameha March.

Many of those in attendance were family, friends and long time supporters of Aaron's and included members of the various choirs he directs, civic groups, charitable organizations as well as the newest members of his professional ʻohana the great folks from Partners in Development with whom he is currently working on the Hawaiian Bible project.

A great time was had by all and invited guests and performers were treated to a great time with great music to honor a great man. Mahalo Aaron!

He Inoa no Pauahi

Welcome Home USS Hawaii

As the USS Hawaii made it's way into Pearl Harbor the stands filled with loved ones of those serving aboard and dignitaries from the military, state and city. A fly over of F-15 jets opened the ceremony and after hula performances by Halau Hula ʻOlana, the Kamehameha Alumni Glee Club performed songs fitting the occasion. Hole Waimea, Pupu o Ewa/Kanaʻiaupuni and Kamehameha March were just a few of the selections.
