This is why they should use Aotearoa the indigenous name. Instead of the boring colonial NZ.

LotR was filmed in NZ. They should know you can initialize an “of” by now.

They've got the Hobbit in the pic. Harry Potter wasn't filmed in New Zealand, so I don't know what he is doing there, or who the girl is supposed to be.

Overall it's a confusing poster.

They're a marching band, I presume?

Whoops, just realized that it doesn't say in the image.

It's the New Zealand School of Music. Added that to the title now for clarity.

We Love New Zealand Sado-Masochism is the only other possible meaning. I shall not be taking further questions.

From the photo, Id guess "New Zealand School of Music" or something along those lines
