On the 8th of August the Kapa
Haka group traveled by bus to Fairfield
school. Before school we all got changed into our funky costumes. We were
greeted by the more FM crew and listened to the first kapa Haka group perform!
When it was our turn to perform we lined up and walked hurriedly onto the
stage, our costumes were fantastic! The boys wore black shorts with a puipui and
the girls wore a koru decorated dress with a Puipui over top. Some of us brought
each a green stone necklace. The schools that performed were fantastic and very
interesting! Each school dressed up in different costumes! And sung all
different kinds of songs! We knew most of the songs. There was even a preschool
performing, they were so CUTE! Other schools sung some harmonies and talked out
their Mihis. One school, Waihola performed a role play for the audience! Their
play was awesome! Overall we all had a fantastic time!

Great story Michaela and Anahera.
ReplyDeleteI love the kapahaka groups costumes. Where did they come from? Who made them?
Well done to all kapahaka people at St Marys.
You sound great.
Simone got ideas from other school's costumes and designed them and then sent them off to be sowed together and made. I think that they are fantastic!
