[January joint practice session, 2nd day]
It's the second day of the January joint training session.
On the walls of the practice venue, the band members, all music college students, had posted flyers announcing their musical activities.
Since I have the opportunity, I will also introduce some information about the concert in this report.

On this day, the first half of the day was spent practicing Mahler, and the second half was spent practicing "Time is Moving Forward," composed by director Ryuichi Sakamoto.
Bell ups on clarinets and oboes are characteristic of Mahler.
The sheet music has detailed instructions on how to bell up.
Mahler's fourth movement was practiced with string instruments only.
Tono, who plays the percussion section, substitutes for the harp on the keyboard.
We practiced interlocking the harp and string instruments.
Meanwhile, wind instruments practice in parts or individually in a separate room.
And on this day too, alumni brought gifts and support!
This is Abe (nicknamed Dandy), a former member of the cello section.
During the break, she even gave a massage to her junior.

This concludes practice for January.
Finally, all that's left is practice in February and the final training camp in March.
To all members, please listen to plenty of audio recordings, read the scores, and be thoroughly prepared.
