Last Cultural Festival

Best Night Ever!

Have you ever felt nervous and proud of yourself at same time? Well the kapa haka group and  I did.

Last Night was a very astonishing night for us and St Patricks school. We were all ready to perform in front of the school and parents. But  first The kapa haka group hold hands and had a little prayer of guidance in the corridor. When we  were walking up to the hall we were cold because it was spitting and the boys had no shirts on.

Once we got the hall Mrs Bullot was doing the introduction and the and the kapa haka group opened up the ceremony. When Mrs Dines told me to lead in the kapa haka group to the stage I was nervous and proud because I was the first one on stage.

When Naanise sang the beginning of the national anthem, the ‘Karanga’, it was like awesome because it takes real guts to do that. When the crowd cheered when we finish singing I felt not shy anymore the most best routine was the haka  we were slapping ourselves and stomping our feet it was a blast crowd were cheering the maori group having a great time and the year 8  and we were  enjoying ourselves because its our last time doing this. After the haka all the boys were in pain but  it felt good.

After we got changed for the Tongan group we were ready to go on to the stage.
