Kapa Haka Festival

On Wednesday it was our Kapa Haka festival performance! I was so excited because pretty much everyday we had practiced over and over! Kapa Haka was one of my favourite things to do as I put heaps of effort into it. 

The performance was at the Gisborne showgrounds. Me and Alice sat together on the bus ride. When we arrived I was so nervous! As we had our very last practice, I told myself "Let's do this!!" Then we started walking into the hall, I was so happy! 

As the the man addressed the crowd we marched up onto the stage. I could hear the cheering ringing in my ears as we got into places. Our first song was E Tea Riki and it went so quickly!! Very soon after, the boys finished the haka and our performance was almost over!

As fast as it started we were off the stage and waiting for Wai and Nui to finish. I felt so proud of myself! 

Then after Wai and Nui had performed, the whole school sang Tu Mai Ra together. After that I had so much fun, I just couldn't wait for next year!!
