Team Song – ‘My Heritage’ – Nicholas Homes

Stage Setting Specials Leading: Nick lines of the lyrics: INTRO: Teepa Tihei Mauri Ora . . . [Lead in with Maori whakapapa followed by other groups as appropriate] I have arrived, but how did I get here? If the legend scares ya Yeah I dare ya to listen up close For a dynamic dose of my story Of me and those who went before me My history’s affected by things unseen My blood is mixed between the orange and the green Warring factions still had some attractions And now a lot of very different people Flow through my blood stream Yeah, and I have no regrets But they left me with some issues I need to address Like the Irish temper The English pride And all these other issues standing on the side Philosophies waxing Morality conflicting Getting it together My toughest endeavour ever All these issues but I have only one Through all this time What have we become? Tag: No reira, Tena Koutou, Tena Koutou, Tena Koutou Katoa

Drama – ‘What effects does my heritage have on my life?’ – Jamie Devine

Stage Setting Specials Props Key: Fence ( 2 posts, wire) Dramatists: Greg, Ben.H 1st lines of the script: Father: “Well son, today’s the day you officially come to work for me on the farm,” (he says enthusiastically). Son: “Yeah,” (he replies, trying to hide his lack of enthusiasm). Father: “I know you’ve helped around when you were younger, but we can start to pay you a wage now that school’s over.” Son: “Great.” Last lines of the script: Father: “Don’t worry about that. There comes a time in every man’s life when he has to get drunk.” Son: “You reckon?” ( he says doubtfully). Father: “Absolutely; and don’t worry if you don’t know how to drink booze. I’ll show you how, just like my dad showed me.” Son: “Another Smith family tradition is it?” Father: “Of course. Come on then, let’s go,” (father starts to walk off but the son remains were he is. Father notices and calls back to him). “Well come on then! What are you waiting for?” End scene

Lord I resent Last lines of lyrics (how song ends) Chorus Old man didn't gimme much more than second hand clothing But Jesus wants more for me than second hand clothing, second hand clothing
