The final rehearsal for the 2002 performance was in the morning, a matter of hours before the actual show that evening. Several hundred children were bussed in from Tawa for the rehearsal. The shots below show the buses parked near the venue, plus two inside rehearsal scenes.



Here are a few more shots at the rehearsal. These particular ones are selected frames from digital video footage.



The following photos were taken by the official photographer at the actual Music Festival. Thanks to those involved for letting us use them. Because of their size and quality, some may take a little while to come through. [The second-to-last one is more than 300K.]



And back to the full practice the previous Sunday afternoon in the Tawa College hall - a few shots from yet another source.
