When I went to school in the islands, we always had a pagent with music and dancing on Lei Day. Everyone wore their nicest aloha shirts and mu-mu's with a specially made lei. I can still recall having to learn to play the ukelele in 5th grade for a Lei Day pagent and having no success. I very much enjoyed my clasmates dancing the hula for us (boys & girls). They semed very good. Another Hawaiian holiday(s) is Aloha Week which is the beginning of September. Now I understand it lasts all month, but moves from island to island like Carnival. Of course, every friday is Aloha Friday and for this reason I still try to wear an aloha shirt to work on fridays.
