Kapa Haka Festival
The guitar strums and Matiria ( our leader ) Starts the song.
Every year each Gisborne school has a team of people who sing for Kapa Haka.
If you are from a different country than me and you don't know what Kapa Haka actually is, it's something New Zealand does to keep our Māori culture alive. We sing Māori songs about New Zealand legends and Old story's. Most girls also have these items called Poi. Poi are plastic balls filled with foam with string attached to it. This is so that the girls can swing the poi in skilled ways. The boy's do something called Haka. There are different song's for Haka. I think it's to show that the boys are Māori warriors.
On the real day I was too nervous. I mucked up a lot even though that was the day I should've done my best. Well, I tried my best, but I ended up forgetting some actions because I had days off school before the performance. I still did good and it was great day. I think my favourite part of the day was probably the part when our whole school sang one of our school songs.
I ended up having an awesome time and I am proud of my effort.
