Team Guåhan shocked fans in a stadium of over 24,000 at the opening ceremony of the 2015 Pacific Games in Ports Moresby, Papua New Guinea.

Team Guam (National Paddling Team) walked on stage and gathered in a circle. Team Captain Brandon Hernandez called out the chant! The title of the chant is called “I Babao-ta” or “Our Symbol.” According to Hernandez, this is the first time Guåhan has presented a chant at the opening in any of the Pacific Games. The chant was taught to the group by Brandon Lee Cruz who also composed the chant.

Held in Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea, the opening ceremony falls on the 2nd!

This will be my first year tuning in….well at least trying to. I have no idea what kind of coverage these games get here in the U.S.. I’m gonna look for some online streams and hope for the best.

I’m also going to post pics on here from their Twitter account when I can 🙂

HERE’S THE OFFICIAL SITE

(Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe they’re including Australia and New Zealand in the games for the first time this year too.)

To the Aussies: It’s being broadcast on NITV (ch 34)
