Sunday, August 8th The actual day is finally here! !The children have been feeling nervous since this morning.There are children who practice their lines over and over again while staring at the script, children who worry about their costumes until the last minute, wondering, "Is this really the right one?" and children who are anxious, wondering, "Will the people I've invited come?" too.
In the meantime, it was time for the doors to open!Customers such as mothers, fathers, friends, and people from the shopping district came to the venue one after another.For customers with small babies, children in attendance will carefully guide them to mat seats in front of the stage.When the concert was about to begin, there were many customers sitting on the many chairs lined up.
