Just a bit of a gripe…I’ve been going to the kids’ undokai at the local elementary school, and every year I’m reminded that for a fun event, the planning for seating and their performance is really dumb. On one side of the field there are the kids in their teams, the school staff and two to three local “guests” (the ご来賓). The parents all sit on the opposite side. Now, when the kids do their performances they all FACE THE OTHER KIDS. I get that they’re preforming “for the guests”, but come on! The guests could have a nice tent on the parents’ side, and the. Everyone could have a chance to see the performance, and not just backsides.
I’m posting this because this year the school also decided to block off the area behind the kids, so the best you could do was see the side of the performance from far away…it was pretty much pointless if your kid was in the middle of front.
