11/3 The 5th joint practice was held!

This time, violinist Sato Mizuki will deliver a report from the members!

Until recently, it was unbearably hot every day, but before we knew it, the heat had blown away and we were starting to feel the autumn atmosphere. 11/3 was also a very cold day...

Before the practice, there was a report about the volunteer participation in the "Jozenji Monthly Jazz Spot" held at Sendai Mediatheque on 10/21.

I also participated, and it was a valuable opportunity to feel the joy of music once again.

Now, as conductor Yanagisawa Toshio arrived, the ensemble practice began!

There were also new sheet music distributed for several songs, and it was a lively practice.

And then, we were given some karinto as a gift!
They were so delicious, we couldn't help it!
All the members started fighting over the karinto.
All the flavors were delicious, but the brown sugar and maple were especially great!

Lunch break is also one of my favorite fun times!

I enjoy talking to various members during this time‼
However, even during this time, some members are staring at their computers...

They seem to be quite busy... It's tough...

After the lunch break, it's time for the first practice of the afternoon!

The first practice of the afternoon is always a battle against sleepiness.

After a full stomach, it's inevitable to feel sleepy...

In the midst of this, we took advantage of the break to hold a mini social gathering for the violin section‼

We introduced ourselves to all the members who joined in the 10th term.

After all, interacting with each other is important to improve the quality of our performance‼

After practicing at Minpo Hall, we practiced at Fukushima Terrsa for a volunteer performance in Hokuriku to be held in January.

It's tough because we only practice until 8pm, but because we have a small number of people, it's a different kind of fun! Please look forward to the volunteer performance in Hokuriku!

The 10th term of TYO kicked off in July and we are already approaching the second half of the 10th term.
Time has flown by so quickly. It was a day that made me want to cherish each and every practice session in preparation for the big day!

That's all for today's report! Thank you for reading to the end!
