[Member Report] The second joint practice was held!!

[Member Report] The second joint practice was held!!

This time too, the member report will be brought to you by Ichikawa Mana, a third-year violinist!

This was the second joint practice held on August 31st.

We were worried about whether we would be able to gather due to the typhoon, but everyone was able to get together safely!

However, it was raining again that day. It seems that some people's clothes were not safe.

Even though I was carrying an umbrella, I was splashed with water from passing cars on my way to the practice area... It was cold...

Alumni Ryosuke Ootsuka and Mizuho Miura came to the practice and even brought us some treats! The sesame flavored sweets were delicious!

Conductor Toshio Yanagisawa also arrived and the ensemble began.

Some members have this T-shirt in different colors. Maybe you'll see someone wearing one in future reports!

This is the first time they've all sang together. They all look serious.

Captain Kaizu is looking cool today too

Even if you can play well when practicing individually, it's difficult to maintain timing when playing in an ensemble, so I listened carefully to the sounds around me and paid attention to harmony and rhythm when playing.

Now, here is what lunch looks like.

If you come here during lunch time you can meet the music college student team!

Everyone has a nice smile.

In another place were the horn section.

This part is also famous for being friendly with each other.

The pieces are cute

The afternoon practice went smoothly and we are finally ready to practice for OTBUTAI, which will be held at Horyuji Temple on September 7th.

The conductor for this performance will be Yuki Takai.

The T-shirts are always stylish. I wonder where they buy them. It's difficult because the feeling changes when the number of people and instruments are different from usual. I feel that the importance of each individual is important.

The performance is near... We're nervous, but we want to enjoy playing so that everyone can enjoy themselves!

The OTOBUTAI report will be released soon!!
Stay tuned!!
