Performance at the local festival 2024

·

On October 13, 2024, we performed at the Kitamae Ward Citizen Festival in Chatan Town! This will be our third performance.

After the performance, the neighborhood association chairman and many others compliment us, saying "The difficult pieces keep increasing with each performance!"

We try to add at least one new piece every time. This time too, everyone worked hard to learn two new pieces in a short period. It seems quite rare to have children performing violin at local festivals, and people appear to enjoy it.

In our ensemble's activities, we emphasize "making decisions together" and respecting the members' opinions as much as possible.
So when adding new pieces, we always ask for their preferences. The first suggestion that came up was Pikmin's "Song of Seeds." Perhaps they feel familiar with its simple melody. After I gave them the sheet music, everyone practiced diligently.

We also discuss costumes together each time, but for this festival, wearing yukatas has become a tradition. Though new members couldn't get ready in time, anyone can participate if they want to, even if they've just joined.

After the performance, of course, we enjoy food around the venue! Since we receive food tickets from the neighborhood association as a reward, everyone enjoys the festival by eating meals, shaved ice, sweets, and more.

Well, even if food is their motivation, I'm happy as long as everyone enjoys performing together.
