Wake up G.I.



Wake up G.I. is an MTV using the song 'Wake up everybody' which is sung by the artist John Legend, Melanie Fiona and 'The Roots'. This version is a remake, the original artists were Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes - recorded back in 1975.

The song has a very strong message of waking up - becoming more conscious of how we can keep improving together. We love living in Glen Innes and thought this would be a good reminder of how everyone has a part to play.

'The world won't get no better, we gotta change it yeah...just you and me'.

Wake Up G.I. from KPE TV on Vimeo.


Year 5 & 6 Extension Group Manaiakalani Film Festival 2010. The extension group would love to read what you thought of their MTV. Talanoa mai!

I loved your movie and the song that you selected. It was so cool to see footage of G.I., Dr Chee and the G.I. police. Awesome job Gabriel and Selena. Memorable.

Isn't G.I. a great place to live!

My goodness... Is this where you have all been hiding. I have been leaving comments all over the neighbourhood and only just realised who 'Talanoa Mai' was. Your music video was the best way to kick off our fantastic film festival.
I was touched by the message and shots of the 'elderly' in our community. They are our Taonga (treasures)
You certainly showcased G.I to the world in a positive way and I believe it made alot of people in G.I (and beyond)'Wake up' and think. Arohanui Ms T x

Amazing movie Extension kids! We loved how there were lots of different shots of people doing different things around our school and in our community. It made us all feel proud of where we're from! Gabriel and Selena did an amazing job lip syncing too. Well done Mrs Tele'a and crew.

Hi everyone

Wow what an awesome movie! I really enjoyed watching it at the big screen. Your presenters were awesome as well. I really loved it when your presenters asked who lives in G.I and a lot of people screamed(including me).

Keep up the good work and I hope to see more.
