Ngaruawahia High School Kapa Haka USA Tour 1998 - Page 87

Tuesday 7th April 1998
South to Boulder City
Lunch was eaten before the bus departed
BYU – filled roll, biscuits, drinks and chips.
The initial part of the journey south was on
an undulating concrete freeway at 70 miles per
hour (110 kph).
It was not too long before the video tape of
the Highland High School performance was
plugged in and viewed on the three screens.

Following a little bit of self-adulation
“Event Horizon” and “GI Jane” were screened to
those who could stay awake as the bus headed
south through rain and sunshine.
The landscape was mostly flat but there
were mountains either side that sent down to the
valley floor individual rainstorms and snow
flurries, which increased as the bus traveled on.

Leaving Provo for Las Vegas and Boulder City, 355 miles south (about 6 hours journey). Occasional showers and storms
were encountered that swept down from the mountains.

Settling in for the long journey to Boulder City (via Las Vegas) with blinds drawn and videos going. The bus had three
video screens available on the roof. They watched recordings of their own Highland High School performance.
