Autumn Dance Fever

By Eri MIYATA

The Autumn festival has started. November 3rd was the day of the Big Festival in Shirakawa park near Fushimi station.

A lot of people came and many different high school students sold a lot of food. I was pleased because I could meet a lot of different high school students. Our group "Dance In Groups" did a performance in front of about 1,500 students. We were very excited.

The Autumn festival is held in over 39 places every year. This year,my friends joined the Big Festival and the Autumn Festival for the first time.
They also danced at the different venues. They practiced hard before the dance at the festival. Some of this school's teachers came. They bought some food and joined the parade. They walked around Fushimi with high school students.

Last year, famous "Waterboys" actor, Kazutoshi Kaneko came to Shirakawa
Park because he wanted to auction his T-shirt, shoes, bag, jumper for charity. His auction was successful. This year,famous singer "Nobody knows" came to Shirakawa Park because they had to sing songs from 17:30 until 18:30. The park was full. The concert was wonderful and they were very happy. A lot of people enjoyed it very much. The Big festival was unforgettable,thanks to everyone.

On Wednesday, November 23rd,this school's "Dance In Group" members went to the Rainbow Hall, Kasadera, because they had to dance, sell some food, help people around the hall etc. They also danced with 500 high school students. They were very happy.
