The 5th rehearsal was held at Fukushima Minpo Hall on December 7th.
We entered December, and it started snowing in Tohoku.
It was getting very cold, but the weather was nice and comfortable.

We usually practice as a whole, but we did section rehearsals mainly today.
We separated and practiced violin, viola, cello and contrabass, and brass and percussion.
The same as last time, we received guidance from teacher of Music Force and Tutor.

I got many accurate advice from the Tutor. There are many things I learn every time.
To perform Beethoven Symphony 9 cohesively, we have to combine each part from the start.
We usually practice as a whole, so it was good practice to make sure other parts movement.

From 15:30, we practiced pieces of Mr. Sakamoto.
The pieces of Mr. Sakamoto are quite difficult, but it’s also very fun because I discover new things as I practice.
The only reason that we can perform pieces by Mr. Sakamoto is because we are members of TYO.
This is a unique experience, so I want to work hard.

There are only three months left until the Tokyo Performance, we don’t have enough time that much…
Colds and the flu are going around, I want to practice hard while taking care.

This report was brought to you by Saki Fujiwara from the trumpet section.
I would be happy if you’re interested in TYO at least.
Thank you for reading to the end!!
