Miyuki's first recital!

With the letdown of the typhoon not really hitting, or if it did the effects not being visible, actually that's a good thing so stop complaining whinger, there was only one last adventure to look forward to for the long weekend... Miyuki's first recital...

Miyuki is a good friend of ours who teaches us Japanese once a week... well, we don't really study Japanese, she practices her English which is fine by us! So she has been learning the violin for about a year and today was her first recital. She told us some time ago and invited us to go... jokingly at the time we thought that'd be great... we'd get t-shirts with "Go Miyuki" on it and stand out like sore thumbs... That was 6 weeks ago...

So today was the day... 6 weeks had passed... we got t-shirts with "Go Miyuki" printed on them, in bright red so we looked like really sore, sunburnt thumbs... Miyuki was stoked with the t-shirts... it is now her favorite tshirt... the funniest part I think is seeing her wear a shirt that says "Go Miyuki" on it... we should have made it "Go Me!"

So, we arrived and met Hitomi, Miyuki's housemate. As we walked into the theatre the people backstage could see us on the monitor... and yes we stuck out... They to were impressed with the t-shirts... Miyuki's teacher, Tomoko asked if we could make a t-shirt with "Go Tomoko" on the front... maybe later...

The concert itself was a mix of the young and old, little and tall, good and the well, very good, and the, poor kids who forgot what they were supposed to be playing half way through the songs... Poor little fellas... Violins can be such a mix of the pure and the drowned cat!

Miyuki for her part did really well... She was really nervous and worried that her hand would be shaky... If it was I didn't notice...

I think by this time next year she will be even better!
