Claps and cheers as Hunter started to sing tu mai ra. The nui syndicate were at The Turanganui Maori Culture show and were performing our kapa haka bracket. We did our haka part. Whakpuri Hunter called and the boys went to the back and then came together and sang Haramai a Paoa.After Ka pioioi e and Puri a Nei (the girls poi) we then did Utaina and the boys moved forward to do the haka. Kamu!... He! we said. Taringa Whakarongo titiro mai ki aue, He au au aue ha he!
We did thar haka and Hunter shouted, ringa pakia!... Wai wai takahia!... aaa Ka mate ka mate ka ora ka ora. We then moved in to Wainui e. Aue te aroha! aue te aroha te mamae e ahai e. Then the boys chanted, Ru ana te whenua whatiwhati HI!
After He honore (the song for leaving the stage). I thought we did really well and the singing was awesome. Throughout the performance I think the songs were good. Over all we did perfect. Maybe not perfect, but amazing!!
