Pictures from Japan: Summer festival

Kazuki's class, "Grape Class," prepares for their performance

Rina's class, "Melon Class," is also ready

The performance begins. The routine is very difficult, and there's lots to remember. Rina was in the U.S. for 5 weeks right before the performance, so she was nervous about how she'd do, but she was great.

Ta-da! A very nice taiko performance...

Kazuki's class also did great. This class is a year older, so their routine was a little more challenging.

Kazuki got his free gifts for doing so well, Pocari Sweat and a Mickey Mouse notepad.
