Polyfest Reflection 2018

I recently performed at Poly fest for the first time in the Niuean group at Tamaki college. It was a really beautiful experience to have performed with the other members and students in the school. At first, I was really scared to perform in front of a lot of people, but I got used to it while performing in front of all of the families at fia fia night. My heart started beating faster than the beat of our dance, it was like I was gonna faint.

As soon as I hit the stage everything zoned out of my head, all I could hear was people cheering for our group and for many people in our group. The experience I had with everyone on Polyfest was a day to remember because that was a day where we all got to represent our culture also to all the people that weren't Niuean but still performed and repped our culture was really cool to see.

The bond we all had before the Niuean group was not good, but after we all started getting closer our bond started to grow bigger and we all started to come together as one and we all became friends. Even if it was my first time performing and representing Tamaki College it was a great opportunity to see what it was going to look like in the future when I join again.
