Piano Competition




Today is Adele's big day.

She is into the second final round of Tokyo Piano Competition, ages 9-10. She has been practising hard the whole week we were there, with harder push from Xiaogugu.
Attached a photo taken as we left home to the auditorium, and another taken without permission (but I am a 'gaijin') inside the auditorium as Adele finished.

The result came out at 7pm same day. Adele is the final 8 into the last round on August 23, an even bigger day for Adele.
Adele was #8 in the queue. We left after she finished her performance. That was a 45minutes of sitting quietly, about 40 minutes too long for Kimberley. Both Kristine and Kimberley clapped after each performance. In between, Kristine was engaged by phantom playing to the music rythym, by tapping her fingers on the front seat. Kimberley went back and forth between my laps and the two empty seats next to us.......
