Kapa Haka

Kiamo!! Hunter yelled in a deep loud voice. Butterflies were darting around in my stomach. This is the moment we,ve been practicing for two whole terms. Hunter starts the takahia. It is wednesday the 20th. and the whole of nui syndact is up on stage at the turanganui kapa haka festival. the festival was at the show ground. we have been practicing for the festival because  maori is very big part of our culture.


I can feel the crowds  eyes burn into the side of my cheek.
I felt as If I was a Maori warrior. before I could blink the Haka was over an I was back to normal. This was easily the best haka. I really enjoyed the Haka. Because it was loud and proud. It was time for the second Haka I feel it went to fast.

Koka Sue strummed her guitar. That was Hunters cue to start the song.  As the song starts the girls walk up beside us rows of people. the crowd was cheering. It was a very proud moment.
