Kie's School Play
On Saturday morning, Kie's elementary school had the trianual school drama festival. (The school drama festival rotates every three years with the music and art festivals.) Each grade presents a 20 to 30 minute production which usually include a few musical numbers as well. Kie's grade did a story about a witch who gives up her powers to become human and fight against the evil witches. In the end, love and audience participation triumph over evil. It was quite moving. 
Kie was one of the witches and performed her line and songs well. I was amazed at the level of performances of all the grades. I remember doing plays in elementary school, but nothing like this. Kie is currently practicing for the all-district music competition. This competition is held each year for 5th graders. All fifth graders district wide compete. Each school performs two numbers--one instrumental and one vocal. Kie is playing the accordion in the instrumental number.

As I observe all those school events as an adult who works cross-cuturally, I see the microcosm of Japanese culture and the society. Those school events can teach you a lot!
Kie- congratulations on doing a great job in the play. I really think you are gifted in the area of music - I remember your singing to our kids when we visited this summer.
Kei- way to rock in the speech contest! That is great. Congratulations. We're proud of you!
Love,
Sue
