I belong to “Kumamoto citizen brass band”. Our band was established 25 years ago. At first, it began for people who graduated from high school. Now there are many generation in our band. From high school student to over 40 years old. There are about seventy people in our brass band.

When I was 13 years old, I bought my trumpet at instrument shop which shop’s sells man is our band’s conductor. And then I played with Kumamoto citizen brass band. It was good experience for me. I have quieted to play the trumpet. I would like to restart to play the trumpet someday. One day I met my conductor at restaurant where I worked as a waitress. I said “long time no see” to him. He invited me to his band. And I entered it.

We practice on every Saturday night. Every summer we enter for competition for brass band. It is national wild competition. There are 3 steps to enter for the national competition. It is prefecture competition, district competition and national competition. If we get good award, we can enter for upper competition. This year we entered for Kyusyu competition and got gold award there but we couldn’t enter for national competition. We practice music not only big competition but also small festival and wedding band. Playing at festival is a little tired but fun.

I would like to introduce an annual plan of our band. In July and August we enter for summer competition. From after that to December we practice for some festivals and wedding band. From January to April we practice for subscription concert. It is corpus of our annual activity. We play many tunes on this concert. Practice for it is very hard. But after succeed it, we fell a great sense of achievement. This year we held winter concert. It is a first time for our band. We intend to attract young people who don’t like classic music. If you don’t have any plan on December 23, please come and enjoy our stage.

Our band is very friendly band. Every weekend we practice for some competition or festival. We like to play the instrument in front of many people. If you like to play the instrument and have your instrument, you can enter for our brass band. Actually practice every Saturday night is a little hard for me, because I have many home works. But playing the trumpet is fun for me. I can refresh my mind. I made many friends in this band. I will quite this band on next April. But I would like to enter it someday again!

movie review- Toy story (1st story)

Introduction

This movie is a very funny movie. It is composed full CG image. This image is very real and beautiful. That way this movie won an Academy Special Achievement Award, I think. Toy story was released by Disney in 1995. Director is John A. Lasseter. This movie is watched all over the world. Of cause it is watched in Japan too. In Japan, it released in 1996. This movie's income was over 6 hundred million.

There are many fun characters in this story. For example, Woody, Buzz, Slinky Dog, Mr. Potato head and so on. They are toys of Andy. Andy is a boy. He likes toys. He got many toys on his birthday and Christmas from his parents and friends. Sid is a dangerous boy. He lives in next to the Andy’s house. He always hurts his and his sister’s toys.

Body

Woody is an Andy’s favorite toy, a cowboy toy. And he is the leader of Andy’s toys. If there are problems, he gathers Andy’s entire toy and tell how to do. Everybody trusts him.

Woody was envious of Buzz, because he is not the best of an Andy’s toy. So he intended to hurt Buzz. But he full down outside. It was an accident. Woody try to save him and it is start of the adventure. They go to Pizza Planet, a pizza restaurant and amusement arcade, find Andy but they were cached by Sid.

They did anything for get the truck. At last, they could back to Andy’s house.

My favorite scene is a chasing scene. Woody and Buzz were left behind from the moving van so they chased it. There were many troubles. First, Sid’s dog bit Woody’s leg. Buzz saved Woody, bud Buzz was fell down from the van. So Woody asks help for his friends, but he couldn’t get some help, because they have not trusted him. Woody was fell down by him friends. Woody and Buzz came up with good idea. They used a rocket, taped behind Buzz by Sid. They flied the ski and down into the Andy’s car.
