Musical Theater I Performance of Mulan Jr
Students in Musical Theatre 1 (Periods 1 and 2) performed to packed houses this weekend at Mamiya Theatre, with their production of Mulan Jr. The show was directed by Mary Hicks, choreographed by Christine Yasunaga, and costumes coordinated by Kimmerie Jones. The students did a fantastic job!
Reviews from Faculty:
“Royal Pageantry, drama, singing, dancing and an engaging plot about overcoming prejudice, defying restrictive, cultural norms to do what is right, bringing honor to your family and nation, and even a love story… it had me cheering, laughing, and applauding as our talented students shared acting and singing abilities I wouldnʻt normally see during class.” -- Mark Brasher
“It was such a treat to see our talented students shine on stage!!! Our performing arts faculty continue to be successful at helping our kids become confident, talented artists. They are growing stars!” -- Maka Jones
“our 'Iolani kids are awesome.... I love seeing them in different settings.... playing sports, creating art, performing on stage....” -- Mary Chesnut Hicks
‘Iolani Orchestras
Six of our eight `Iolani orchestras performed a Spring Gift of Music in Seto Hall last Sunday, April 28 to a packed house. Over 160 musicians from our lower school beginning orchestra, Intermediate orchestra, and advanced orchestra, plus upper school orchestra 1, orchestra 2, and symphonic orchestra 3 (strings of orchestra 3 and members of intermediate band 2) dazzled the audience with all they have learned this year.
The officers from the Save the Music Tree Club, President Roel Ylarde ’19 and Vice-President Nate Yonamine ’20, reminded the audience of the Club’s decade of community service; the club will donate money earned from past and present bake sales to the International Pernambuco Initiative to plant trees. The Grand Finale of the concert featured soloists from 4 -12 grade performing the Seitz Concerto in D major.
The soloists: Kimi Maeshiro '19, Taylor DeCastro '20, Nate Yonamine '20, Aria Minami ’21, Brandon Haruki ’22, Erica Kim ’22, Jacob Matsuda '23, John Kimura ’24, James Wu ’24, Caroline Haruki ’25, Skye Higashihara ’24, Vance Maeshiro ’25, Alila Nguyen ’25 and Coco Kim ’27. The directors are so proud of all the young musicians who performed in this annual event and are grateful for all the support from the Orchestra Ohana.
National High School Journalism Trip
Last week, students representing the future leadership of our Ka Mo'olelo O 'Iolani Yearbook and Imua 'Iolani Newspaper publications attended the National High School Journalism Convention in Anaheim to prepare for their roles as next year’s editors and share their experience with other publication staffs. This is an exciting year for Yearbook as last year’s book,Ka Mo‘olelo O ‘Iolani Vol. 95, Tributaries, was just selected as one of 29 books representing this year’s best-of-the-best in yearbook design and coverage out of close to 3,000 nation-wide submissions.
Throughout the convention, students attended various sessions and had the opportunity to visit KDOC-TV Los Angeles and privately tour the Angels Stadium with their vice president of communications. The group ended their trip with a visit to The Getty.
