The Bukatsudo Shokai.

The introduction of the club activities. Every year the 2nd & 3rd graders give a presentation to the new 1st graders to lure them into their respective, supercool club activities. It's pretty cool, seeing the kids show off a bit.The band warming it up.

Oh, so militaristic. Cover! Align!
