Keen for Kapa Haka

It was the day for Kapa Haka a Wednesday like no other.The big hall showgrounds filled with people. With the whole school all together at Kapa Haka. All emotions run through me as we were all about to go on stage for the one and only Kapa Haka Festival. I quickly spot my dad in the huge crowd waiting for us to all come on stage and break the stillness. As I quickly snap in to my Kapa Haka mode. The tension finally breaks we all start singing our hearts out. The first song ends and I see my dad smiling with joy in his eyes with a feeling that felt proud of me and my sister. I quickly realise that there are so much people than I expected in the stadium at the showgrounds but I still kept singing loud and proud.



  A few songs had past and now it was my favorite song Utaina Mai . This was my favorite because we put all our energy into singing and the boys doing the Haka. Miriam (the girl in front of me) had a Piupiu and it was so beautiful because when we the takahia her skirt would flow. The boys  started doing there strong Haka which was a bit to fast but it still sounded amazing. All our actions were in time and all the work paid of and was so worth it. It was an amazing experience to be a part of.



At the end of the performance everyone had a beaming smile on there face. I think everyone in the audience also had a beaming smile on there face too. I felt so tired after that and a bit sad that it all went so fast  and that it was all over. After that I had a sore throat and I think I caught a cold but it was all worth it.
