Sports Day

I already attended a sports carnival at my other school, but seeing this one was surprisingly quite different.  My main school is the biggest Junior High School in the area so I think there is a much higher importance placed on strictness.  The training regimen these kids go through to learn several songs, dances and the whole even was pretty intensive.  No mucking around it was like a military camp haha.

But the day itself paid off, was a blast and successful.

Pretty much the day starts with an opening ceremony.  Lighting of a olympic torch, and some speeches and bows and chants to the PTA and the staff.  Then a hybrid stretch/dance.  Followed by various races of the grades, relays, whole-class skipping competitions, whole class bamboo course challenges, followed by a ceremonial dance and more speeches and finally clean up.

Got some more pics and a bit more of a video to check out too if you're so inclined.
