Te Matarae i Orehu is the only Te Arawa group to perform in the final day of Te Matatini.
Performances are underway in Christchurch with hundreds braving the predicted wet weather at Hagley Park.
Two Mataatua groups, Te Whanaau a Apanui and Opotiki Mai Tawhiti were also chosen in the top nine to perform today.
The event is being screened live on Maori Television.
