The team poses in front of the goalpost entranceway on the way to soundcheck.

At 7.00pm the band bursts onto the stage with Lua afe - the crowd is big

The audience goes right back to the end of the venue.

Olivia and Melodee delight the crowd.

The Girls are having fun

Lue Lue and the audience is really grooving.

Many people there knew all the words

The drumline in Kaleve

Check out the stylized rugby ball backdrop

Everyone sung along to Papa e

Talaga, Olivia, Tremayne and Etueni dance Pate mo tou vae

Siva mai but the stage is too high to reach the audience

Ika Ika and the crowd joins in

Tokelauan line dancing - Ika Ika fatele
