Kapa Haka

All I could see were yellow feathers sticking out of the girls hair. Moana Syndicate was getting filmed first - we had to be filmed because of Covid- and I was so excited! I have always loved Kapa Haka, and having it being filmed in the hall of our school was not as nerve racking!

Our first waiata was Utaina and we sounded amazing! Our second song was Ka Waiata, one of my favourites. To be honest, the camera was a bit overwhelming at first, but I got used to it after a while. Our bracket had quite a few new songs such as, Ka Waiata, Toia mai and Ka Panana. But most were ones that we have done before. 

The next song we performed was E Rona, the poi and my favourite. On the second round of E Rona the two front rows kneeled down so the other rows could be seen. A new haka that could be performed by girls and boys, was introduced to us in Term 2. It was called Ka Panana. The boys would come to the front towards the end of it, so they could do their haka.

After the boys haka, we did another new song, Toia Mai. This was one of my favourites as well! As soon as it had started we were finished, and I was so happy! I enjoyed it so much and hope to remember all the songs we just learnt! Here is the performance video:
