2014 MERRIE MONARCH Music Festival April 20 The Merrie Monarch Ho'olaule'a (music festival) was held in Hilo's Civic Auditorium on Easter day. Below are some highlights of the event. Unfortunately, the movies are not very good - a combination of light issues that confused the camera and poor zooming skills. Sorry and Gomen nasai. The event began with the entrance of Hawaii Community College and Hawaii Island charter school performers. Presentations were made by Ha'akumalae Protocols Program, Hawaii Community College, and Hawaii Island Public Charter Schools under the direction of Kumus Kekuhi Kealii'kanaka'oleohaililani, Dr. Taupouri Tangaro, and Manaiakalani Kalua.
Hula Halau Ke 'Olu Makani O Mauna Loa Under the direction of Kumu Meleana Manuel, dancers from Halau Ke Olu Makani O Mauna Loa performed. 
Halau Ke 'Olu Makani O Mauna Loa welcomed dancers from Japan. 
Halau O Ka Ua Kani Lehua Kumu Johnny Lum Ho brought hundreds of dancers from Japan who performed for the packed auditorium. His local Hilo Halau keiki and kupuna also performed.
Unfortuanately, the lighting in the auditorium was terrible.
