Good morning. The weather is nice again in Nagano today.
Today is the third day of summer training camp. We've finally entered the second half.
We have a packed schedule today as well.

We'll be posting reports as they come in!

Today we gathered at 7:00 AM for radio calisthenics!

Doing radio calisthenics in the greenery feels so good!
This will give us the strength to work hard all day!

Today we're starting with the third movement of "Fate."
The trombone is pretty bored because there are only four movements.

By the way, yesterday morning we practiced movements 1 through 3, but time ran out and we didn't get a chance to perform. According to Yanagisawa-san, this is a common thing for trombones lol.
It looks like we'll be making good progress with our individual practice today as well.

Once the ensemble finishes, it's time for section practice.
The string team is in the hall, the woodwind team is upstairs, and the brass and percussion teams are outside.It was my first time doing section practice outside.
I felt like it wasn't bad.

For the afternoon practice, we practiced the first movement of "Fate" with the NOVA Kids Orchestra!
Although we were from different regions and age groups, we were all practicing in the same space, tada!

Practicing with a different orchestra was very stimulating.

Practicing with another orchestra can be very stimulating.
