On Tuesday the 4th of September Burnham School Kapa Haka Group were backstage ready to go on tho the stage to perform at the 2012 Cultural Festival at the CBS Arena. Gem from What Now was on stage giving out a Cultural Festival t-shirt. Finnly was really nervous, I just told her to breathe and imagine no one was there. The two hosts Matai and Ra said,"We now have Te Kura O Tiori, Burnham School reaching for the stars".
All I heard was Hannah's sister Michaella say," Go Burnham"
The boys haka's were really loud and the stage was shaking and made our performance come come in with a bang. Then we got into Ka Pioioi, our kaea's Taleah, Hannah and Britteney sounded amazing and lead us in brilliantly, the group filled the stadium with noise, it sounded amazing.
Our last song was Reach for the Stars, but we sang it in Maori with a mix of English. The first verse was the girls poi and the rest we did actions to. When we got back to our seats I'm sure we all still had that adrenaline in us, but we soon settled down.
The Cultural Festival was really fun this year, it was my 5th time I have performed at a Cultural Festival
