It looks like the “Nishinomiya City Joint Music Concert” will be discontinued starting this year.
This notice appeared on the websites of elementary schools in Nishinomiya City…
The “Joint Music Concert” was a school event held every July at Amity Hall, where fourth graders from all 42 elementary schools in the city took part.
Why is it being discontinued?
- To secure enough class hours
- Heatstroke prevention
- Scheduling needs for each school’s events and curriculum planning
It seems they also considered moving it to June, but it looks like there wouldn’t be enough time for practice.
Finally
Since this concert had continued for 70 years, this will likely be disappointing news for those who spent their elementary school years in Nishinomiya. Maybe it’s just a sign of the times.
