Mangaia Ura pau ( Drum Dance )

The Mangaia ura pau was held on Wednesday night and was one of the main features. The girls were wearing green pareu kiriau with a black and white hibiscus 'sporran' attached to their waist band and a headdress with purple feathers on the crown. The boys were wearing white pareu kirau with a green, black, and white waistband with purple, white and green headband and a white kiriau necklace. The stage preparation took some time but we hope that it did not exceed 10 minutes which would cost the group some points. Akameitaki anga i te pupu ura pau o te Mangaia no ta ratou ura pau manea. Tangi ke!
