“Hey you guys are on soon, get ready” Says Caleb.
“SEE UPOKO I TOLD YOU!!! WE ARE NEXT” I said.
We all go to get ready to go on stage and we are giving the
Tokelau group high fives as they go and get ready for Kapa
Haka or they just get changed. It’s our turn next. Oh my God,
I was so scared, and here we are singing Kuki Airani and then we
end with a drum dance.
At the end, I felt proud of myself for taking a
risk of not being a shy person like miss Trish sometimes is, I also felt
happy after the dance because after was Kapa Haka.
When I remember about Kapa Haka that I got nervous again
and as we did Kapa Haka none of the boys listened to Matua
Todd, They did the Haka way too fast, so I felt embarrassed.
I said to myself, “That was the best night ever, I hope it happens
again”.
