One would direct for a while, then hand it off to the next director.
The final song, Tutira Mai, had choreography.  The directors did the choreography for kids.

Farewell Party and Dinner

After the concert we went by busses for a 30 minute drive to a large building
for a dinner party and dance.  The Hong Kong youth were not allowed on the dance floor
so they made their own fun with some American Youth Choir members.
