All Vegetables - 全野菜



Oops, wrong kanji! It should be 「前夜祭』meaning, "Night before the festival." Okisho is having its annual school festival, and as always, the day before features a stage night (well, it took place in the morning, but whatever!)... students and teachers alike get a chance to show off their talents to the rest of the school. The stage night started as it always does, with a performance by the Vice President (Masaichiro Nashiro) and his jazz band.

Then, a harmonica performance by the school president, Mr. Masajiro Nashiro. I love how the kids cheer him on as if he were their grandpa or something. Well, for one kid in the audience this was the case, but anyways, for two minutes there, he has 600+ grandkids cheering him on!



Then the hosts come out and introduce a plethora of performances: breakdancers, anime dancers, bands, karaoke, baton dance, devil stick performers, jugglers, baseball team dances, soccer team dances (how come boys always want to dress up like girls and do a Morning Musume dance?), and so on. It was an incredible time, as always! Okisho is indeed an awesome school, and these kids have a lot of hidden talents that (unfortunately) only come out once a year! Or maybe I just need to spend my off-hours at the school to see them at their liveliest?

上記の件名に漢字ミスがある。オールベジタブルじゃなくて、前夜祭ービフォアナイトフェスティバルだ。沖尚は年一回、オープンキャンパス及び学園祭を開催します。今年はインフルエンザのため、別々になった。学園祭は明日、あさってだけど、残念ながら僕は参加する事ができない。けど、前夜祭には一番前に座って、たくさん写真やビデオを撮った!

まず最初は恒例の副校長ジャズバンドの演奏及び校長のハーモニカソロでした。いつもと変わらない、非常に良い演奏でした!その次に生徒たちの披露が次々と発表された。その中、ダンス、バンド、カラオケ、バトン部の披露、野球部のダンス、サッカー部のダンス(なんで男が制服を着てモー娘のダンスをやりたがっているか今でも不思議に思ってる)、大城卓也のポルノグラフィティソックリ演奏など、たくさんの素晴らしい披露をエンジョイした。

やっぱりこのようなイベントに出席する事によって、沖尚生の勢い、輝いてる姿を見て感動するね。このような学校で勤める機会が与えられて神様に感謝します!
