Opening Ceremony

This is not a uniform. Big Sister's new high school does not require a uniform. This is Big Sister's suit for her opening ceremony for high school. The suit had pants not a skirt.

Students have an opening ceremony when they start kindergarten, elementary school, junior high, high school and university. Everyone dresses up in school uniforms or suits. Big Sister wore a fancy pink dress at her first grade opening ceremony. She wore her uniform for her junior high opening ceremony. Little Brother wore a shirt and slacks for his elementary school opening ceremony. All the other boys wore suits. Short pants with suit jackets was the style then.

Chairs were set up in the gym for the opening ceremony. The rows on the left were for the new tenth grade students. The chairs on the right were for the string club that played music before the ceremony. As the new tenth graders came in by class, they played Pachabel's Canon.

This picture was taken from the hallway. This is the sports field where they have gym class. Sakura or cherry blossoms were still in bloom.
