It takes a special singer to join the ranks of Kanikapila... But it takes even more to be a TRUE Kanikapilian.
...those who have withstood the test of time...
**The Audition- To even be considered for acceptance into Kanikapilia, one must go through the intial test of auditioning for our founder, Marilyn Liu-Kim. During this session, the ability of the prospect is judged. If Marilyn finds that particular one to be worthy, entrance to the group is granted.
However, the true test is yet to be administered...
Kanikapila is a group of people brought together by their love of singing, many different people with different ideas of what singing and music should be... We have stood together, fallen from grace, had our beliefs challenged, and challenged others' beliefs... We have loved each other, hated each other, tolerated each other, built ourselves up, and knocked each other down... We have found elation, frustration, arrogance, hurt, and humility... We have cried, laughed, fought, and played...
We have made mistakes... and we have learned... together.
...Withstanding the test of time, true Kanikapilians are tempered like steel, honed in the fire that has been lit under us (which we sometimes fail to appreciate)... and by the fire that we light in each other. We are soloist, but most importantly we are something more... a part of something bigger...
We are Kanikapila.
