The Day of Sports
Hi!Sorry my post is so late tonight. There's always lots to catch up with after a long weekend, isn't there?
One of things that busied me this weekend was the hubbub (that's got to be my fave English word) of the nearby school as they celebrated their Taiiku no Hi (Sport's Day).
Sport's Day is every year on the second Monday of October. It's generally celebrated by kids from kindergarten to high school performing some sports activity. It's not exactly all track and field. It can also include taiko drumming (in the photo below), dancing and cheerleading. The whole family comes down and watches. It can be a very fun day, or, for the non-athlete types, a dreaded yearly ritual.
Take a look at these videos I found.

Has anyone attended a school's Taiiku no Hi in Japan? I think it must be very different. Please share your thoughts.
