Turanga nui schools cultural festival!!!

On the 20.11.2019, as I was walking onto stage the crowd looked at our kapa haka group. The Turanganui Schools' Maori Cultural Festival was on at the Showgrounds.  We had practiced our Kapa Haka for three whole terms.  I didn't like doing practice every week, but walking onto the stage yesterday felt pretty good.

The piupiu made a rattling sound. I myself, and I think I am not the only one, to think that our singing was amazing. The actions where really strong. The haka was way too fast though. It was like super speed. The order of the songs we did our presetation in was Tu Mai Ra, Ka Pio Oi, Haeremai a Paoa, Utaina, Te Kura o Wainui e, Kamate haka, Wainui e and He Honore.

I think it went pretty good and I enjoyed watching the video of us. It was good because we had like a lot of clapping from the audience after every song we did. I also think it went well because we sounded all together when we were doing the haka.  I think I would like to be part of the festival again next year!
