Kapa Haka Performance

 Kapa Haka Performance

Wind forcely swang my hair back and forth as I walked through the school gates. Today I felt ready to shine at the school kapa haka performance. Rushing to the hall, I carried my bodics to get changed into. After I was changed I ran with pride to my teacher to get my moko stamped onto my face. My teacher stamped an inky moko stamp on my chin. Pushing with might I pushed against the teacher, so the moko stamp showed a clear, inky moko on my chin. I had to leave it to dry before I could touch it, otherwise the moko would smudge and that wouldn't of been good. Feathers got placed in my hair through the hair tie. 

Following the leader I walked outside to the hall. Because of alert levels, at alert level 2, unfortunately parents could not come and watch our performance, lucky Matua canaan came in to our kura to video our performance. I tried to line up in the lines as straight as I possibly could. I felt proud of my self. 

Koka B said" cameras on" and the kaia yelled the first command. Everyone's actions were symmetrical.  Voices bounced of and on the walls making our performance loudly strong. Our first song we sang was utaina. When I came to the second round of utaina the boys did the utaina haka and the girls sang utaina. The girls and boys competed  to try and make their haka louder than the girls singing. To be honest I think that the girls and boys were just as loud as each other.   

We than sang  Ka waiata followed by the poi, kapana, haka, toiea. Then the performance was over. I was happy that our rupu had done an awesome job. My favourite song was toiea, when the voices echoed of the hall walls.  We all did our part to make this an awesome kapa haka performance.
