Soloists and groups fro my halau, Hula Halau 'O Pi'ilani, competed in the Ia 'Oe E Ka La Hula Festival in Pleasanton on November 2, 3 and 4. My Step-Mom, my Dad and I watched the soloists compete on Friday and the groups compete on Saturday. We enjoyed watching the soloists and the groups from sixteen different halaus from California, Hawai'i and Japan. In previous years, we have watched halaus from Nevada and other states; however, they didn't compete this year.

an afternoon of hula and an evening of jazz
Today, my hula halau performed at May Day at the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton. Two of my friends came from Oakland and San Francisco to watch me and the others dance. Our halau performed three kahiko dances, one Tahitian aparima, several 'auana dances and one ori Tahiti dance. I danced in one kahiko dance and one 'auana dance.
After the performance, the three of us wandered around the vendor area for a bit, then we went out to dinner. After we said our goodbyes, I drove home.
After resting for a bit, I went to church to see a jazz concert at my church. I'm not very familiar with jazz; however, I certainly enjoyed the concert. The young musicians are very talented.
