Kapa Haka Dress Rehearsal.

My 20 mins writing this week will be about my Kapa Haka Rehearsal that happened on the 11th of November. (Sunday/Yesterday) So first of I was at a Kapa Haka Wananga ( A live in for a competition group) since Friday night and well about 7 in the morning my dad had to come and pick me up for church which would only for  about 1hr 30mins. So after church I had to go home and just get into some other close to come back to school and just get back into Kapa Haka with the rest of the people in my group. When I got back the girls were getting a bit of a growling because they weren't giving it their all when they were practising anyways Horrace said for everyone to go outside for the rest of the 15mins and then comeback and then we all get dress. After the 15mins everyone started to get the hall set up for all the parents. Not long after we started to get ready and well the way the girls went was while Bina (Horraces Fiance does the next person then they next girl gets ready into their dresses. Well when your done and Bina is still doing someone elses hair then you can go to Whaea Tere (Horraces sister) to do your moko. When your done their then you can go to Bina to do hair, and then when you are done your can go to Whaea Whetu (Horraces Mum/Teacher for Nga Rau Tipuranga) to get your lips done. When everyone was ready we had to go to the back of the hall and wait for all the parents to get in the hall so that we could wait in the foyer to go in the hall. Once I got out in the hall there was no going back. After the Performance a couple of people from the crowd stood up and talked and after a Waiata we had a Haka performed to us from Whaea Jazz, Whaea Hinemoa, Whaea Tere, Matua Shane, and some students. After everything was finished we went around to everyone and let them take pictures. After all the pictures we went and got change back into our other clothes and go home. That was my Kapa Haka Dress Rehearsal Sunday.
