Calling all Honolulu Boy Choir alumni for April 30

By Wayne Harada
Advertiser Entertainment Writer

Honolulu Boy Choir alumni are sought for a special rehearsal, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. April 30 at the rehearsal hall of Central Union Church, to prepare a musical homage for the late Roy Hallman, choir founder and former director, who died Thursday at his Hawai'i Kai home.

Blake M. Nuibe, executive director of the boy choir from 1989 to 2001, is coordinating a group performance of "This Is Our Island Home" and "May the Good Lord Bless & Keep You/Aloha Oe," at the funeral and memorial services for Hallman, set for 5 p.m. May 1 at Central Union, where friends may call from 3:30 p.m.

Nuibe said that men unable to attend the rehearsal may still show up and perform at the services.

Kaimi Pelekai, a boy choir alumnus, will direct the tribute performance; Hallman's widow, Nyle Hallman, will be accompanist.

For information, former choir members may call Nuibe at 592-5043 or e-mail bnuibe@hotmail.com.
