Te Tai Tokerau Intermediate & Primary Kapa Haka Regional.

For my 20min writing this week will be about Te Tai Tokerau Intermediate & Primary Kapa Haka Regional. So as we all wake up everyone starts talking about how nervous they are. We all get ready, have breakfast and go across to the hall. We have Taumata and after that Horraces says that he will try and record as much. 15mins after we start getting dressed and everyone is a bit psycho cause everyone is nervous and all. Once everyone is ready we wait for the bus to get here. Once it got here some people had to get some stuff on to the bus.  When we all got on the bus we had to focus so that we could calm down before we get there. When we turn into the stadium we saw all of our supporters and family. When we all got of the bus we waited for TKW (Te Kapehu Whetu) to come out of the changing rooms. When TKW came out we all went in and just started to get the rest of our stuff off. Like our Tamoko and just little touch ups. 2mins before we go on stage we are all waiting for us to go to to waiting just before the stage. When we get called to go by the stage we all just start to breathe heavily. Once I hit the stage all my nervousness just went away. When coming of the stage a few people start crying. (happy tears) Few Hours later... Now we are waiting for everyone to come to the prize giving and all the stuff we places were whakeke, Moteatea, Whakawatea and Waiata A ringa. Leilani (our Kaitataki Wahine) also came 1st equal with TKW, and we did a mean haka for her. When it came to time to hear who goes to nationals everyone had their fingers and toes crossed. When the man said that we came 4th then we all just jumped and celebrated. When we left we were all in the bus singing. We stop at the park to have some pizza and have a little play. When we got back Horrace said that we can have a 15min swim in our school pool. When we went to bed we were all relieved and happy. That was my first regional competition ever, and I am proud to have done with Te Rau Pou Manawa O Kawakawa.
