The University of Shimane School Festival was held on October 8th. Our brass band played in the cafeteria.
The school festival is held on two days of the year. However, this year it was held on one day due to a typhoon. So, the performance of the brass band changed a little. We invite Hamada Commercial High School and Hamadian Brass as guests every year. But, unfortunately this year we could not because the schedule shifted. Also, we could not use the auditorium. So, the performance was held in the cafeteria.
We practiced from the end of August. The songs were difficult but everyone practiced. So, we were able to do a good performance with everyone.
I started brass band in my second year in high school. When I was in high school I was able to attend the Chugoku Competition. I feel good when I’m playing in the brass band. So, I can do my best. I will try hard in future.
I learned how to respond to unexpected situations when I had to deal with the typhoon disrupting our scheduled performance. I would like to make use of this experience in the future.
