Kawea sings with Burelli Singers from Brisbane




We were really excited when the Burelli Singers from Brisbane came to town. My niece is in one of the junior choirs in Brisbane, so it was nice to get to know the group. Kawea’s choir Auckland Boys Choir.

They sang in the Auckland Town Hall in the middle of the city. Nauvoo and Arama came to support also. We had a bit of a shop down Queen Street then helped out with the dinner for the choir members.

The ABC boys did really well. I really enjoyed the Burelli Choir, as it reminded me of when I went on tour to the USA, and brought back some wonderful emotions hearing their music being sung.  Tears welled up in my eyes several times hearing the parts, the emotions coming through the music. This was my passion growing up. Music was and still is my passion. Sooo fantastic. I was reminded of how I would love to have a choir like that run out here in Rodney District. One day…

Flashback - Rotten teeth?

I was putting the boys to bed the other night, and as usual you go through the usual teeth toilet, bed etc... I asked Rakai, did you brush your teeth? He said no. (He was honest) So, I said, "do you want your teeth to fall out while you are asleep?" He answered with a sad look on his face, "yes, cause then I can get some money". Oh that was such a Rakai thing to say!! I had to counter that (trying not to laugh) by telling him that the tooth fairy doesn't give money for rotten teeth! Then, Hikawera pipes up saying he got $5 for a rotten (dead actually from being banged) tooth that the dentist had to pull out. I had to go into real damage control then!! Rakai comes out with the funniest things sometimes. He is golden.

Volleyball

Teancum really enjoys playing volleyball. He jumped right into the teams at boys high, and within a couple of weeks, he was in the 'A' team. They came runner up this season to a solid Hillcrest school team. An awesome group of boys.
