Enthusiasm and Pride We are making slow progress, but we are progressing! What is more important is that the enthusiasm of the group has developed into pride! Where once we sniggered at tape-recordings of the old chants, we are now attentive listeners, absorbing every word and note and enjoying them. Consequently the opportunity to ‘test’ ourselves is eagerly anticipated. We do not find it difficult or monotonous to listen to the chants, nor could we be deemed ‘fanatics’. We are proud of our Maoritanga, so our love for all that is Maori is natural and automatic. For a start, eighty per cent of our members could not speak their own language, and did not care one way or the other whether they learnt or not. Today, it is a different story.
