Smokefree RockQuestAfter winning the regionals, Supafly, one of our music bands, took part in the 2026 Smokefree Tangata Beats National Finals in Wellington. They spent many evenings preparing and fine-tuning their performance. This culminated in an amazing display of their skills at the competition. As well as using guitars, drums, keyboard and trombone, the band uses taonga pūoro – traditional Māori musical instruments – ‘singing treasures’. Ka mau te wehi!
