Virtual Concert
On November 18th of this year, Friday, right after their Sports Class, the Year II students, Momo Class and Bear Class, went to the third floor to do something fun and interesting. There awaited them was a big television screen and some very important guests (on TV).
（11月18日（金），年中組は体操教室が終わった後，３階へ行きました。オンラインにて園児大会がありました。素敵なゲストが大きなテレビの画面に登場しましたよ！）
The show started with a lady opening the program and welcoming everyone who is watching the show. It was then followed by the words of a man explaining what is going to happen and who the special guests are. Then appeared this group of familiar men (the same group of musicians who came to Ishida Preschool last year and gave them a concert show), called “Everly”. Their band composes of four men playing a specific musical instrument- piano, guitar, violin, and percussion instruments. Most of their music are just instrumentals. They mainly focus on the way the instruments are being played, not on the words of the songs. The most fun part of this event was when they, the students, were asked to stand and participate in the show by clapping while dancing to the music.
（初めは司会の方や市長さんのお話がありました。その後，”エバリー”さん（昨年，石田幼稚園でコンサートをしてくれた方々です！）が登場しました。ピアノやギター，バイオリン，そしていろいろな打楽器を演奏してくださいました。楽器のみでの演奏がほとんどで，素敵な音色を十分に楽しめましたね。なにより一番楽しかったのは，子どもたちも一緒に手を叩いたり踊ったりして参加した曲でしたね♪）
The main purpose of this event is to introduce the love for music to the students of Ishida Preschool, to showcase some of the musical instruments available out there, and in a way, to prepare them for the future Christmas event coming up the end of this year.
