Strumming Their Way to Molokai

Kamehameha Guitar Club performs.

Nine students from Kamehameha School brought cheers and laughs to a Molokai audience last Saturday as they played guitar and sang. An ample audience of about three dozen swayed and sang along to an eclectic mix of favorites like “Wahine Ilikea,” “Take Me Home Country Roads” and even a song by Frank Sinatra. Everyone joined hands in an all-encompassing circle for the program’s finale, “Hawaii Aloha.”

Both a music and a service club, the students of the Kamehameha Guitar Club volunteered at Ali`i Fishpond with Merve Dudoit before their performance at Home Pumehana last Saturday. The group, which includes two Molokai students, raised money to make the trip, and local families donated food and opened their homes for the students to stay.
