Last week moana syndicate (that's me!) finally filmed our Kapa Haka performance. We decided to film in the hall, Koka Brodies partner, Canaan is a photographer. So he had all his fancy gear ready to film us. To be honest it was super scary having all these cameras staring you down.
This year I was in the front row and I was thrilled! I tried and tried to stay there and the teachers had noticed. Our bracket had quite a few new song such as Ka Waiata, Ka Panapana and Toia mai. I had tried to learn these songs at home and it payed off!
I had always found the poi tricky, but lately I feel like I have got the hang of all the moves in E Rona. My favorite move in the poi was when the front row went on the ground (sitting) and the second row stood on their knees. I thought Klara did an awesome job leading E Rona.
My favorite song was easily Toia Mai, its such an up beat song with fun actions and words. Kapanapana was a real challenge for us to learn, it was about the volume, the breathing and the actions.
The whole performance was easily my best I have ever done and i'm super proud of the effort I put in. And on top of that I achieved my goal! On the stage I felt proud to show all the hard work that we put into our bracket. We even made the principal cry!
