Yesterday my school, Wainui Beach school, performed at the Kapa Haka festival. It was a festival that happens only once year. It was exciting to get on stage but what I wanted most was to just get Kapa Haka out of the way.
We were waiting outside just off the stage while the announcer introduced us to the crowd. There was a big long clap and we started to walk onto the stage nervously. Now that we were on stage we waited for the Kia to do her command. We had two Kia, one was a boy named Bay and the other was a girl named Matiria. Once the clapping stopped Matiria gave her command and we all walked in close in the middle of the stage. Then Matiria sang the first word to the song and we were of joining in on the next word.
After we finished the first song, Matiria did the separate command and we departed back into our usual lines. We started singing Utina and did our Haka transition. Then we did our Haka, the male Kia named Bay led it. After our speedy Haka we sang the poi song. We sang it again but this time we moved to the back where we were originally. Then we sang it one more time with the girls just doing the poi and with the boys just singing. Then we sang Wainui A and we all walked off stage.
