Fortissimo: Dilworth School - Pese O Le Tatau | The Big Sing 2024 | Auckland Region Gala Concert

[@lou4650]

That ‘unnecessary screaming’ is our fa’aumu. In our Samoan culture, this type of chanting was considered our war cries. But we also use it to express our happiness, or pride in something. It is definitely not unnecessary.

Oh peoples! This is a Gala night for the Big Sing. It’s a showcase of the performances each school did during the competition. This is a chance to show off and hear the cheers from the crowd, because during the comp, this doesn’t happen. This hall is full of teenagers, u try and tell them to shoosh 😂😂Enjoy the cheers that come wt this. Dilworth is awesome and have been for many years. If y want to hear wtout the noise, come to the actual competition day!! Malo Dilworth!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@alicembarnes]

I think these boys dropped their 👑 s I love hearing the support and excitement these boys created with the crowd. You can't fake this enjoyment and the incredible talent these boys have when you hear everyone's reaction. No wonder these boys took out Best All Male Choir AND the Pasifika Award.

I have a silly question. Is this the Auckland Town Hall. The last time I was there was in 1956 when I was 15 years old. But I remember the hall being much larger. Thank you.

[@Challenger0074]

Yes it is

[@joannamacfarlane5404]

Yes, the screaming from the audience spoiled this great performance for me.

[@pkalamelimnati8472]

Totally agreed.

[@tamatilichtwark8429]

That's how the islanders chur for there people

[@pkalamelimnati8472]

@@tamatilichtwark8429 Disagreed. In the island where I grew up were never disrespectful we only cheered hard after each segments of the competitions, its the new generation that grew up outside the island. The island events are usually held outside in the open, but in an enclosed environment the people should used their common sense and consideration of others. Especially you are there to hear the beauty of the outcome of all the hard work they put to be where they are, but they are drowned out by some people who just there to hear themselves instead of the participant of the show, which is disappointing it makes me think that they aren't educated. It sounds harsh but something to ponder on and hope you understand.

[@Eelybrecstendt]

Hopefully next time organisers should caution audiences for disruptive screaming before any performance.

[@user-is5pf1um8r]

It’s a apart of the culture, but for watching purposes I totally understand 😂

[@alicembarnes]

This is the gala performance. The judged performance happened earlier during the day. This concert was the celebration of a successful day where they got to show their best item of their set. Support and cheering was welcomed.

[@r2t-q8b]

idk but i hear some birds that are trying to kiususu? it sounded like a bird to me not the one filming tho

[@lee-anndutoit5893]

Too much cheering

[@PhilipVili-qf2qt]

That screaming unnecessary from educated group ,suppose they are not

[@karensayer3089]

Exactly. We have taken some of America's ,annoying action. Brash and demeaning.
