Wonderful Memory

We sokyoku club had a concert on 17 December. It is held every year and is the biggest and  most important concert in all concerts we have. We have practiced hard since spring for this concert. All seniors leave this club on this concert, so this is important concert not for seniors but also for the rest of us, and we want to make a great concert together.
For freshmen this concert is the first time to play the instruments in front of many people. So it was hard to imagine how the concert would be and how to manage this. We had to make up our hair set and wear kimono and had some jobs individually. I had to work as a manager of the stage, the work is carrying the instruments, putting them in order and waiting at the back of the stage to help if there wold be troubles. I appeared on the stage and played only two times in 2 hours and a half but I didn't have rest time. I had to pay attention to everything every time, so I became tired. .......But it was fun. I enjoyed this concert a lot and I became convinced again that I loved this club and this would give me good memories.

The morning, I got up at 5 o'clock to have my hair made up by a hairdresser. It was hard for me to get up early and because I worked at a supermarket the day before until 10:30 p.m. But I tried to go to bet early and did my best and I could get up at 5 o'clock. The hairdresser was so kind that I didn't pay the extra money (early morning money?) and his treat was great. This encouraged me and I got good motivation. It became a nice morning. And I arrived Suitengumae station and went to Nihonkokaido. There we started arranging the hall and had the rehearsal. We did the rehearsal with wearing kimono, so we could know how  it would be to play koto on the stage with kimono. We didn't know that because we freashmen haven't participate in any concerts and don't practice the koto wearing kimono ordinarily. So we appreciated the rehearsal.
And we continued that and preparing the concert. We worked hard so I felt a little tired before the concert began. The opening was approaching. I thought that I would feel my heart beating fast.... BUT actually I didn't feel tense, I became exciting. The time that I play came and I felt a little nervous, and at the same time I felt pleasant. It was exciting and I enjoyed it. Actually I mad a little mistake but I did my best, WE DID OUR BEST ant the playing was so good. Our hearts were one. I enjoyed this, we enjoyed this. On the stage, the lights were hot and I felt a little unconfortable to get the lights and feel hot, but that gave me the motivation and made me exciting. I enjoyed it a lot.

And the closing came, we all were satisfied with the our works, our plays, and ourselves. We were proud of ourselves because we did our bests and succeeded. We noticed again that we love this club and we love the mates in this club. I love them and I want to do my best any time in this club.
