NPAC's Godspell, 3/31/12

I have never been disappointed with Nanakuli High and Intermediate School Performing Arts Center (NPAC) performances.  Shun Wah and I had the privilege of making memories of Godspell.

Kudos to Robin Kitsu, his wife, his daughter, the performers and their support crew. I was moved to tears as this depicts Jesus's last days.  They did a powerful performance.

I would have loved to share more pictures because these students gave it their all - they took this charge seriously.  Therefore you may find the pictures are disconnected but I chose pictures I felt showed emotion.

 John the Baptist baptizing.

As I mentioned, I have never been disappointed.  I am always happy I got to see them and to give them my pictures. Here are links to previous performances, I have attended.

ENCORE: 20 years of NPAC, 11/21/10

Camp Rock The Musical, 4/8/11

(Under the Influence - I did not blog this) However this past summer 2011, NPAC was invited to perform this at the American High School Theatre Festival at the Fringe Festival in Edinburg Scotland.

Take a Bow, 11/21/11

Thank you Sunny Aloha Miller for informing my photo friends and myself about NPAC.

Polar Plunge?, 4/1/12

What a creative way to benefit Special Olympics Hawaii.  Jalna, Les and I took pictures of this crazy and fun "Freezin For A Reason Polar Plunge".  

According to their website, "The minimum amount raised per person to plunge is $100.00 by April 1, 2012."

It is hard to tell but it was 20 degrees Centigrade.

This father was a trooper: first he jumped in and stayed in to assist each daughter one at a time and remained while his wife participated.

 I kept my camera dry by using a large zip lock bag and tore open a hole at the bottom and pushed my lens through.  I also shot continuous shots to get these action shots.
