So this weekend we had the Culture Festival aka School Festival, it's basically like open house back in the States except the kids put on a show as well.
Usually the school have a competition between each of the classes and clubs. But since there are a few clubs and only 3 classes, they didn't. Each class did a performance, the 1st year formed a band; the 2nd year made a skit involving their class, their homeroom teacher and a camping trip; and the 3rd year did a skit about their Australian trip.
They still had a competition, a singing competition which the teachers had to evaluate and judge which class sang better, harmony, etc. and which was the best conductor and pianist. That was fun to do ^^
The students who were in clubs and wanted to put on a performance did...that was three out of eight. The music club, which is the school band that's made up of 4 saxophonist; the English club made up of 3 students and put on a music video we made of 'Girlfriend'; and a guitar club which was 3 students playing the acoustic guitar and a pianist. They were all good and i didn't even know there was a guitar club.
And then we teachers also performed, we sang in a choir. It was a nice Japanese love song written and popular like in the late '70s. They made red bow ties out of paper for all of us to wear, which was cute and funny ^_^
A few of the students were shocked that we were going to sing (i think it's partly cuz the gaijin was singing in Japanese as well)
The students also had all the work they have done so far in the school year ex: from wood shop, home ec, and their art work from the fall art competition.
The whole day went well and i had fun... even thou i couldn't understand the play or the speeches that were made.
