The Fantastic Week 13

 This week on Wednesday, we went to the Kapa Haka festival, it was quite interesting. First we got our mokos on, Fly put ink on the tracer and put it on our cheeks, also we took off our t-shirts and sweatshirts and our socks, shoes and our pants because we put on skirts. We left the nametags on the table, we got the skirt from and put our socks and shoes there too. I was trying really hard not to touch my moko and I didn't touch it because I didn't want it to smudge, but it was extremely itchy, I resisted. 

Then the bus arrived, I got in. It was really cramped, so three people had to sit on one seat even though 2 people could fit on it, it was hard but I managed to stay comfortable. On the way there we sang our waitas and the haka too. We also did the songs that we sang last year, we also saw an extensive golf court it was colossal, what was surprising was that the kapa haka festival was going on right beside the golf court. So we made it there, it was exciting. we came out and went to the grass to go to the toilet in the porta potties. We also practiced a little bit too.

When we were ready we went inside and waited, when it was our turn we stepped up on the stage, the crowd went wild. We got in our rows and started singing. We sang beautifully and at the end of our waita they cheered loudly. Then we did a haka, it was strong the crowd was impressed, when we did our last song the boys went to where the audience was. The boys sang still, and the girls went down too, at the end we watched the other kids do their performance and went in the bus and went back to school.
