March Pass
One of the most hotly contested components of National Tournament - the March Pass. An opportunity to acknowledge our kuia, kaumātua and tournament taonga, promote healthy lifestyles kaupapa (especially auahi kore), announce our arrival and lay down our challenge to other waka! It's a chance to demonstrate creativity and flair with choreographed moves and chants. The girls and whānau have lots of fun putting their performance together and always do themselves and our waka proud.
