[Found under: “NU HOU HAWAII.”]

Posted on May 5, 2026 by nupepa

At the band assembly given at Emma Square [Ema Kuea] on this past ~~Saturday~~ Monday, it was David ~~Naope~~ Naone who whirled the conductor’s baton [ka laau alakai himeni] with great deft. It is indeed a task that Hawaiians can do.

Ka Nupepa Kuokoa, Buke XXXVI, Helu 50, Aoao 10. Dekemaba 10, 1897.

I love the use of “ka lāʻau alakaʻi hīmeni” for “the conductor’s baton.”
