George Na'ope Hula Festival Day 2: 'Auana (modern) Hula
Another early call for hair and makeup.
Not quite done yet.
Meet "Betty," Cashel's hairpiece.
Wearing dahlias and lokelani, the pink rose of Maui.
Last-minute adjustments before taking the stage.
Cashel performed beautifully in her song about Puamana, a much-loved family home in Lahaina, Maui.
She did her Kumu proud!
With Popo, Peter, and Tai Tai.
Another costume change, and it's back on stage with the Kaikamahine.
They're dancing about Waikaloa, a beautiful spot on the Hana coast of
Maui. They're also using 'ili 'ili, river stones that they click
together in their hands (sort of like castanets).

Another beautiful job, and another first-place win!
Back in her solo costume for the awards ceremony, and showing her sweet, demure side. Candy-dyed blue tongue just adds to the look.
The ceremony started with an acknowledgment of all the Kumu and a chance to see them perform.
In addition to winning first place in their division for their kahiko and 'auana dances, the girls won third place group overall (across all ages and genders). All that hard work payed off! Overall, our Halau groups and soloists received nine awards for the competition, including six first places. Congratulations to everyone!
"Can I pleeeeese go to the pool now?"
Hula sistahs, relaxing.
