Hello, everyone!^^

I went to a concert by Yodogawa Kogyo high school's brass band, which is called Green Concert.  It was held at Festival Hall in Nakanoshima, and it was the last concert for the third year high school students!   One of my students who used to come to my English school before belonged to the brass band in Gamo junior high school and now he is a member of Yodogawa Kogyo high school!  And he told me that he would perform in the concert at Festival Hall on January 15th and wanted me to come, so I was really happy to hear that!!  Of course I went to the concert!!  Actually he is still a first year high school student and plays the alto saxophone!  I was really moved that I listened to the students perform some songs!!  They had a concert at Lemierre Hall in Kadoma city before and I went to it, too.  All the students have become better at performing, so I was very impressed and realized again that music is wonderful!!

They played some songs, such as Bolero（ボレロ）, Furusato（故郷） and Kampai（乾杯）, and I almost cried!!  （In addition, Mr.Children also has a song called Bolero.  It is also very good, so I want you to listen to it too, lol）  And also, I was very surprised that all the seats were booked!!  Probably because it was the last concert for the third year high school students and many of their parents and friends also came.

When they played a song called "We Are The World", the lights in the hall went off and all the audience waved penlights!!  It was so beautiful that I almost cried, oh my gosh!!

I want to go to their concert again!!
 

こんにちは〜＾＾

淀川工業高校の吹奏楽部のグリーンコンサートを聴きに行ってきました！　フェスティバルホールで行われて、高校3年生にとっては最後のコンサートだったそうです！

以前弊社の英語教室に通われていた男の子が中学の時から蒲生中学の吹奏楽部に入り、今では淀工の吹奏楽部に入っています！

そして先日、「ホールでコンサートやるから来れたら来てください」と連絡が入り、喜んで行かせてもらいました！　その子自身は高校1年生で、アルトサックスを演奏しています！　むちゃくちゃ感動しました！！　以前にも門真市のルミエールホールで淀工吹奏楽部がコンサートすると聴き、それにも行きましたが、一段とみなさん素晴らしくなっていて、やっぱり音楽はいいなぁとあらためて思いました！

皆さんご存じの「ボレロ」という曲も良かったし「故郷」や「乾杯」も良くて泣きそうになりました！(ちなみにミスチルの曲にも「ボレロ」という曲があります。あれも良いですから聴いてみてください笑)　　しかも満席でびっくりしました！　おそらく3年生にとっては最後だから彼らの親御さんや友達らが聴きに来ていたのでしょう。

「We are the world」を演奏したときは電気が暗くなり全員でペンライトを振りました！　とても綺麗で泣きそうになりました！

また淀高のコンサートあれば行きたいと思います！
