Originally, I–and some other teachers–thought the performance was just a normal school performance. Lo-and-behold, we show up on Friday and we find people at two tables set up in front of the stage. Looks like a judging panel! As we get closer to the start of the show, a cameraman sets up a camera on a tripod behind the judges. We even made the Wuhan evening news (see “光谷音乐节“). It’s crazy!

We find out over the weekend that the judges have selected 3 performances from our school. Now, we have to prep for the big show on Saturday because there’s a ¥5000 prize money for the first-place performance!
