Important!

  • I have put on three new posts (including this one) so be sure you read all of them as to not miss any important information.

  • I have put a list of material options for the May Recital Costumes. You can find this list at the right hand of the blog where it lists: Choices #1-5. Just click on the link and it will take you to the website where I buy the material.

  • Please take a look at all 5 choices and let me know which one you and your daughter like the most.

Thanks,

End of School Recital

Okay Ladies!!!

This recital is going to be amazing! The girls are working so hard on only two numbers this recital. But they are so beautiful and you're in for a REAL treat! The two songs we will be performing are:

  • Somewhere Over the Rainbow by: Israel Kamakawiwa'ole
  • E O Mai by Keali'i Reichel

I have made a CD for each of the girls with these songs. I really hope the girls (and ask that you encourage it) practice as much as they can at home too! Each girl has been assigned a verse from E O Mai to choreograph themselves!!!!! I have provided them with the English translations for their verse and we work on it in class. But they will need to do some work on their verse at home as well. I feel like this is a task these girls can take on. Please join me in giving them lots of confidence in this challenge.

The recital will be sometime at the end of May close to when school gets out. I am in the process of finding material for their costumes. I will post pictures of what I find so you can all leave comments of what you think.

Please check our BLOG at least once a week so I can use this as a tool of communication between you and the girls. I appreciate all your support. If you have any questions please feel free to call me whenever!

Until Next Time,

Kumu Atwood
