orchestra

"Kia ora koutou Whanau, whanui!"

This is Courtney and Clarke along with me, Lachlan.

They play in the Whakatane orchestra involving all the schools in the area. We are about to perform La bamba for our classmates. They are all waiting in anticipation.

This is Courtney she plays the fithe (which is just a small flute). Courtney sits in the middle of the orchestra. Her teacher is Mrs Hanwright.

Now this is me. I play the tenor horn in the brass section like my brother.

Kia ora whanau, as you all know the Commonwealth games in Dehli have been going on, and we have been doing some work on it.

My brother and I told our parents of the work we are doing. They told us that they have bronze medals from the Commonwealth games held in New Zealand in 1990 (as you can see in the photos). But it's not exactly the same as you would think, because my parents got their medals for playing an instrument in the brass band that played at the opening ceremony. (They didn't even compete for the medals). The 34 other band members all got bronze as well. New Zealand couldn't afford 36 gold medals.

Snoozy stretching trying to come life.

Muncher comes behind his tummy is rumbling,

Last comes Chief the one who runs the Show.

This is the dwarf theme song Teeny tribe.

Johnny boy you can waiata, and you play your part well. Rasta to you Johnny.

















Oceania is not a wicked manipulating person.
She's a very nice person. We think you play your part

by men to make the wrists supple in preparation to use weaponry.

The first step is to do four plat then you must tie a rive note.

There's Courtney and Laynah working on there poi but they were a bit to distracted by the camera.
