Part 1: Hālau Nā Mamo O Puʻuanahulu Merrie Monarch 2016 Journey

Happy Merrie Monarch!!!! Those who have participated in the Merrie Monarch Festival know that it is ALL about the journey to the Merrie Monarch stage and not the trophy. HNMOP starts training in January for MM, which was in late March that year, so shorter prep time! This vlog captures HNMOPʻs 3 month journey to Merrie Monarch 2016 and 30th Anniversary: Practices, hula camp, fundraiser, costume and adornment making, more practice, celebrating, and blessing dinner... all before we even leave to Hilo. Next #HulaLife vlog still yet to come.... showcasing arriving in Hilo and continuing our HNMOP journey to MM 2016! Comment, Like and subscribe and maybe it will give me the push and encouragement to start on PART 2 of HNMOP MM 2016 Journey ;)
