A Message From The Student Association PresidentAia no i ka mea e mele ana.
Let the singer select the song.
The time to shine and stand in the spotlight is here. You have grown past the butterflies and all the uncertainty. Fans have been waiting for you to get up to the microphone and to do your thing. From this point forward you go out in to the world to sing the song your heart has always wanted to sing.
Today is the day that you take a step forward in a direction that you have chosen for yourself. Up to this point, decisions have been made for you or with you, but now it is your turn to manage your own destiny. No matter where you are from or where you are going, it is your time to take control. You are the singer, and it is your song to sing.
Kelson T. Ho‘omano Pakele President, University of Hawai‘i at Hilo Student Association (UHHSA)

The Star-Spangled BannerPoem by Francis Scott Key
Music by John Stafford Smith
Oh, say, can you see by the dawn’s early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh,say,doesthatStar‐SpangledBanneryetwave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
