Kapa Haka Turanganui Cultural Festival

I felt extremely ohoroa (nervous) when I was on stage because not only was there over 100 people watching and one of the was my mom, I was also ka wehi (scared) that I would do the wrong move and it would be on video so, yeah you get what I mean.

 OH! Hunter just started singing ,"Tu mai Ra Na tamariki." I whakawai (nervously) took one step and then another.  We repeated the song after Hunter sang the first bit. I blinked and we were already doing the end of Tu mai ra. All the boys yelled, "TU MAI RA NA TAMARIKI O TE KURA O WAINUI E!" The volume was unbearable and I started getting a headache. Next we did Haere mai a paoa.

 1 minute later it was already almost the end. "KA MATE KA MATE KA ORA KA ORA KA MATE KA MATE KA ORA KA ORA!" yelled all the boys That's another song finished, two more to go. We sang the last songs and we went back to the area where the busses were parked and the teachers told us we did great. I felt extremely whakahihi (Proud).

 My mom took photos of me and she had to go back to work. We finally climbed in the bus, rode to school and did a picture of our self at Kapa Haka. THE END.
