Kahuku High School's Culture Night
Tonight was Culture Night for Kahuku High School. Leigh had been practicing for a couple of months with the Tongan group for this performance. Some days they were out practicing in the rain. They were troopers these kids. I went to quite a few practices to watch, which was actually so fun for me. It brought back so many memories from when I was her age, doing the exact same thing.
These are some of the kids all dressed up ready to perform. FYI, the cute girl on the left of Leigh is Telesia Afeaki's daughter (my 2nd cousin that I grew up with). It's cute to see her and Leigh together and be great friends!
The adults helping them out were my high school classmates. I think that made the experience more fun. It's kind of cool to see all that tradition being passed down and being taken over by the next generation.
Leigh had so much fun performing. It was so great to watch her. I couldn't have been prouder!
At the end of the evening, all the kids from the different culture performances broke out in flash mob performance. It was cute. Leigh got all into it even with all her Tongan garb.

That's so awesome Leigh! That's one thing I really miss is the dancing. Although NZ is part of polynesia you just don't see the kind of culture and dance they display all over the islands other than Maori (mostly). That's really cool that Sia's daughter is friends with Leigh and Moti was teaching the dancing. Makes me feel old! haha
Great job Leigh, so happy you got to participate and have that experience! Ofa atu!!!
