Tanabata Festival:

Yukatas and the Play:
Tonight we celebrated! After a strenuous two hours of putting on beautiful yukatas, the girls were finally ready to celebrate. The entire camp dressed up in traditional Tanabata festival clothing. You should have seen the faces on the cafeteria workers! We also had the pleasure of watching a hilarious play written by our very own students that depicted the story behind this star-crossed festival.

Taiko & Games
The festival started out with a very impressive performance from the River City Taiko group, followed by several students getting the chance to play real taiko drums. The skill of the players really blew me away, especially since the Advanced/Intermediate class has been practicing taiko ourselves (I know how difficult it is!). As the night continued, everyone participated in games we previously learned about in class, earned tickets, and had tons of fun
