2004 Oahu Falsetto Contest
Announcement, photos, and results of the September 2004
Aloha Festivals Falsetto
Contest on the island of Oahu in Hawaii.
The 10th annual Frank B. Shaner Hawaiian Falsetto Contest
took place on September 11, 2004 in the Hawaii Ballroom of the
Sheraton Waikiki Hotel.
In 2004 the contest moved from the
Hawaii Theatre to the Sheraton Waikiki. (Note that Frank B Shaner left
KINE 105.1 FM radio station morning show in 2004 and I think the
name of the contest was changed in 2004 from the Frank B Shaner
Falsetto Contest to the Aloha Festivals Aloha Festival Contest on Oahu)
In 2004 a "Best Hawaiian Language Performance" category was added
to the contest.
