Hokulea and the Hikianalia powhiri

Did you know that on wednesday  march the 25, twelve manaiakalani schools went down to the Pt england  reserve to sing and see the  Hokulea and the Hikianalia powhiri members. When all of the schools had appeared the Hikianalia powhiri had just come in. the Hokulea was already there because the day that they were meant to come was tuesday but it rained. So when all of the schools appeared we waited till we were told to stand up and sing. When we were  ready to sing we sang and then when we finished singing nga waka e we sang e oho after we finished singing we waited to be told to sit down and then when one of the members finished speaking we were told to be seated. When we were seated we were finishing and when we finished we went back to school and then went out for lunch.

    Thanks for sharing your story. I have just watched the video and can only imagine how incredible it was to REALLY be there. What a powerful voice you all had when you combined your schools students together. I am sure this is an experience you will always remember.
