Melville Intermediate - CPA 31st October

Today the Melville Intermediate School CPA (Cultural Performing Arts) group had an incredibly busy day. They started off with a performance at the front of Melville Intermediate School for a group of special guests that are at Melville Intermediate School today and tomorrow. Then it was straight onto the bus, in costume for performances at two early childhood centers! The first performance, part of the Maori section is captured here which is the opening Maori section of the performance. Then it was onto the bus again for the next show. Part of that is shown here, which is the Samoan section of the performance. These events were all filmed by Joey from Room Five on Wednesday 31st of October 2012.

Melvlle Intermediate - CPA at Te Pahu Primary

Our hands were sweating, our teeth were chattering, it was almost time to perform to Te Pahu Primary School. We were all standing on the stage in our Maori costumes, waiting to unleash our pukana. Simon bursted out the command that started our entire performance, and that's when it all begun!

  We all went from nervous to excited. From then on, we were all strong in our performance. When we finished our Maori section, we rushed off stage to zoom into our Samoan costumes. The girls performed their Siva and then the boys came on and we all performed the sasa. We finished our Samoan section, and had to once again zoom into our Hawaiian Costumes. During our short changing times, our Hawaiian teacher, performed a few dances of her own. It was time to go on stage again. Our first dance of the section, was a big hit, but the second was even bigger! We exited the stage with a round of applause from Te Pahu primary.
