Seniors Jeslie Pavao and La’akea Awong are serving as the first-ever student hosts for the event, which begins at 6:30 p.m. on K5. Grades 10 through 12 were given the opportunity to showcase the songs they would’ve sang last year. The theme from last year, “I Mau Ke Aloha Aina,” carries over, and the songs express a deep love for the land.
