Aloha kākou! Welcome to the blog "Behind the Mele" where we will share the little details and decisions made in the background before the big events. A friend tagged me in a post yesterday of a cathedral depicted as a iceberg. The beautiful structure above the water line was labeled "The Performance" and the mass of the building beneath labeled "The Rehearsal". There is so much that goes into creating a few hours of music and celebration. I hope to give a glimpse here to the many rooms beneath the waterline. Ke aloha no, Pōʻai
