This week was the Fujimura Chorus Festival.
It was very exciting to see all of the students perform. For the past month and
a half they have been singing and practicing after school and during lunch. It
has been very enjoyable to hear them as I walk from class to class and made
seeing the festival so much more fun! I was very excited to see that one of my
classes won first place!
In the United States, only the students in
the choir class would perform at a choir concert. All students, however, could
perform in a Talent Show. Usually there will be a Talent Show once a year at
American schools and students can audition with a song, dance, or other talent.
Only a handful of people get to perform. I like that everyone gets to be
involved in Japan! It’s cool to see a new spin on a familiar tradition.
