In summer, we can enjoy band competitions all over Japan.
Summer is the most hectic season for band members, they have to practice so hard for the competitions, which are the biggest of all they join in a year.

In most junior high school and senior high school bands, prefectural band competitions in summer are the last performance for the third year members.
Elementary school bands are a little different, the sixth graders' last performances are often set in autumn, winter, or even in the beginning of March.

My younger daughter's school band played at the prefectural competition yesterday and got the silver prize two consecutive years.
We realized that we had lots and lots of things to learn and acquire to go to the Kanto division.

吹奏楽コンクール、茨城の小学校の部県大会成績・・・ポチっとすると見られます。
その他のコンクール情報は、ありがとう♪小さな音楽家たち に載ってます。
管理人さんが茨城の方みたい。

上の娘の中学の吹奏楽部も、無事県大会出場（彼女は吹いてないんだけどね）。
昨年次点だったと知り、今年は小学校以上に「目指せ！東関東」を掲げてることと思います。
中学や高校の部のコンクールレビュー、どこか見られるとこ、ないかなあ？？？
