Song Contest
Held annually in March, the Kamehameha Schools Song Contest is an a cappella choral competition between the graduating high school classes of the Kapālama campus. Students participate as a graduation requirement. Each class, directed by one of its students, sings Hawaiian songs as a single, cohesive choir. Each class sings a coed arrangement, and students in grades 10–12 perform a men's and a women's song. Five judges evaluate the musical performance and use of the Hawaiian language. After the hōʻike, an exhibition of hula and Hawaiian music, six trophies are awarded to the best performances.
