Winner:
Play percussion! Spend much of your year
Packing in and out truckloads of gear
And the really cool bit?
That one wrong note you hit
Is the one thing the audience will hear
Paula Weir, Wellington
Highly Commended:
With expert and sensitive micing
Whether soft, or too loud for your liking
On wood, skin or metal
With sticks in fine fettle
A performance can be really striking
Martin Dew, Karamu
Your drumsticks can get in a tangle,
Your wind machine sounds like a strangle.
But give it a "ting",
It's a magical thing,
The cute, basic, lowly triangle
Kay, Waikanae
