Cultural festival

Tonight's the night. It's Wednesday the 28th August. I went into room 8 and got some lipstick and feathers. Then I went into the hall. Once every body was there we went to get on the bus that would take us to the cultural festival. Kayla and I got to sit together on the bus. The ride was very bumpy but we finally got there. We were the first school performing on stage at the Cultural festival. When we got there we had to take any extra clothes off. We had to go backstage, it was really scary. There were at least 1000 people there, it was very noisy. Then the mc started talking and the audience went quiet. We started walking up stairs. When we got up the stairs and on stage we could see every body for a minute then the bright lights turned on. Our first song was toia Mai that is the name of our first Haka too. Our next Haka was called standing in the shadow of tu. Our next song was called mate kurukura. Our final song was called e to hokuwhetu. Standing at the very front of the stage s very scary I know that because I'm in the second row of girls and the Second row of girls had to stand at the front of the stage for e to hokuwhetu. When we finally got to walk of stage away from the wild clapping we got to put our extra clothes back on. When we were back in our extra clothes we got a water bottle each. We watched all the other schools preform. When all the other schools had preformed we got to go back home. The next day I was very tired.
