What if we play two or three songs ala kani ka pila at the end of the show? If everyone keeps their setlist down to just a few, we should have time to do that. I think it would be great fun for all of us to play together.

That evening as I was listening to the wonderful music I looked out of the window over to the hospital across the street and thought: "I bet there are folks in that building who would love to have the opportunity to listen to this..." Just a thought. I think it would be great if sometime we could share all this aloha with those ill and injured patients there.

Aloha nui loa, Julie

I've generally allowed set up time plus 18 minutes for playing. We could allow 15 minutes per "act" including set up time (plus one hana ho song after the 15 min.), leaving the time at the end for kanikapila. Anyone who wants to "donate" extra time to the kanikapila is free to do so.
- Given that this is more or less a public performance, I would request that somebody take charge of the kanikapila and determine a few songs that participants can prepare. Taking15 minutes to figure out which song goes next doesn't seem to me the right way to go.

As to Valley Med: Here's my previous experience -- Valley Med is a high volume (read: overworked staff), generally very cramped and crowded hospital. They are somewhat open to performers, but it isn't the most performance friendly location and you have to perform at times that are easy for staff to bring patients into a congrgate area. Kids ward is often easier. If anyone wants to organize this, they can contact the Public Relations Office.

Rehab center and convalescent hospitals tend to be more player friendly and still have high need populations.
