The Merrie Monarch Festival in Honor of King David KalakauaDavid La'amea Kalakaua, last King of the Hawaiian Islands, was a ruler whose visions and aspirations put forth the renewed

well-being of the native Hawaiian people.This revival and respect for ancient Hawaiian culture and arts, often called the Hawaiian Renaissance, reached its height during

Kalakaua's reign from 1879 to 1891, enriched the music and revitalized the hula of Hawaii.This period of the Renaissance was not only a return to the old, but a flowering of the new, as exemplified by the members of

the Kalakaua dynasty itself-Kalakaua, Liliuokalani, Leleiohoku,-all composers of note, and the development of new steps forthe classic hula.

The intense spirit of this historic cultural re-birth is once again in predominance during this era, one of its sources of inspirationand vitality emanating from Hilo, the birthplace of Kapiolani.

From Hilo, every year, for 18 years, has come the Merrie Monarch Festival, in honor of Kalakaua whose love of life and hispeople are recaptured during the days of the festival.

The highlights of this festival are the evenings filled with thrilling performances in the hula kiihiko and hula auwana from tens ofhlllaus from all of the Hawaiian Islands.

The Merrie Monarch Festival of Hilo of the County of Hawaii can be looked upon as a pioneer in this revival.

Grand MarshallSLIM HOLT

Albert C. "Slim" Holt is a 6'4", 215~pound part-Hawaiianwho came to the Big Island in 1943 as a stevedore, and stayed totake a place in the just-developing tourist industry. Like most ofHawaii's tour operators, he started out in the business at both thebottom and the top, as owner of a one-car operation in which hewas driver, tour guide, mechanic, and promoter. It was a 365 daya year, 12-hour a day business - which it still is - but one thatSlim Holt obviously believes is the most exciting, and the mostimportant part of the tourist industry today.

-HALAU KU AIWA KAMAEHU, the hula halau of the Honolulu Boy Choir, will participate in the

exhibition portion of the prestigious Merrie Monarch Festival, held April 15 ~ 17, 1982 in Hilo.

The hiilau, organized in 1977 to complement the Honolulu Boy Choir's program and to perpetuate the

Hawaiian culture and a greater awareness of hula and its heritage as an art. The halau has grown to become anintegral part of the Choir's performances. It is the youngest group of male hula dancers, starting at age 6 thru12. They have demonstrated their skill and grace as the half~time exhibition entertainment for the King

Kamehameha Hula competition, and as the half~timeentertainment for the nationally~televisedPro Bowl.They have done many major concerts in Hawaii, as well as, extensive touring throughout the United States;

British Columbia, Canada; and Mexico. The Halau has also participated in community and educationalfunctions to motivate the "youths" awareness of their Hawaiian Arts. The Honolulu Boy Choir has beenlcclaimed as the "pride of Hawaii", surely they share this pride with you, the Honolulu Boy Choir's HalauKu Aiwa Kamaehu.

The Halau's talented kumu hula is Leleiohoku Rasmussen, whose extensive knowledge of Hawaiianamakes him one of the foremost kumu hulas in the State.

FLEET MARINE FORCE,PACIFIC BAND

An integral part of every major U.S. Marine Corps

field organization is its official musical unit. The Fleet

Marine Force, Pacific is the largest single Marine Corps

field command and it is only proper that its musical

unit be the finest. Such is the distinction that the

Fleet Marine Force, Pacific Band holds today.

In addition to its stirring traditional military theme

and march music, the FMFPac Band has an extensive

repertoire ranging from the electronically amplified

beat of disco music to the soft pleasing tones of the

classics. Performed in concert by the Band en masse or

by one of its jazz or polka ensembles, the musical

competence and versatility of the FMFPac Band have

thrilled military and civilian audiences throughout the

Pacific area. Their popularity and expertise were locally

recognized when they were named the "Best Military

Band" for their performances in the annual King

Kamehameha and Prince Kuhio Day Parades.

The Band plays for all official functions hosted by

the Commanding General, Fleet Marine Force, Pacific

and in this capacity has played Honors for countless

civilian and military dignitaries including the President

of the United States.

From ceremonial parades and patriotic ceremonies

at the National Cemetery of the Pacific, to school

activities and public concerts, the FMFPac Band has

established itself as a premier musical unit of Hawaii.

19th ANNUAL MERRIE MONARCH FESTIVAL

Chairwoman's Message

To the memory of King David Kalakaua, the UMerrie Monarch·Festival" is dedicated.

The festival's aim is to perpetuate the traditional culture of theHawaiian people; to develop and augment a living knowledge of theirarts and crafts through demonstrations, exhibitions and perform,ances; to reach those who might not otherwise have the opportunity toparticipate; and to enrich the future lives of Hawaii's children.

The uHawaiian Dance Program" of the Merrie Monarch Festivalfocuses on bringing together Hawaii's beautiful and handsome huladancers like King Kalakaua did and share a learning experience for allthose involved. It demonstrates the variety, the ingenuity and thecreativity of the many schools and the styles and disciplines of theHula.
