Stage fright

On Thursday the 20th of September there was a large festival in the hall. The purpose of the festival was to raise money for the junior kids playground and to entertain the people that came to watch. When i arrived to school i thought i came late but i was lucky that they were still there.After i entered room1 they told me to put on my lava lava and go check if anyone else was coming. Next i went to check The little kids in the Samoan group and they were running around and playing with the other groups, After  i saw them i called them to come in and change. Later we all changed and got ready and went up to the hall. Soon we came to the hall and the hall was full of people and was very noisy. When we came into the hall people had large cameras and filming cameras and were going around taking pictures of people. After awhile the Maori group entered the stage and Mrs Bullot Said a introduction speech and told us to stand for the national anthem. After the national anthem we turned around and sang the pacific greeting song. Finally we turned back around after the audience clapped and sat down for the Maori group. During the Maori group the crowd were clapping and cheering when the Maori group done their haka soon the Maori group finished we clapped for them then they exited the stage. After the break the Samoan group came on the stage and got ready while everyone were sitting down. While we were dancing our relatives came on the stage and stuck lots of money on us. After we danced Miss Craig started to dance with Dehnyse and Agnes soon an old lady came on the stage and started dancing with Miss Craig and put money on her. After our dance everyone was clapping and shouting. Soon i had to return the costume to Miss Craig and went home. It was my first performance standing in front as a leader with Benjamin, it was my funnest cultural fest ever!.
