How awesome the school festival was!!

November 2nd, 3rd and 4th, we had a school festival. It was awesome!!! First day, freshmen wore their original costumes and walk down to the down town. 2nd and 3rd days, we enjoyed in the campus, seeing the performances which students played, buying a lot of foods which students made. I'm going to talk about 2nd and 3rd days especially.
2nd day, there were a lot of booth which each students belonging to some clubs, circles, or department classes ran. I sold "hiroshima-fu okonomiyaki(広島風お好み焼き)" which my tennis club made, sweet potato, coffee and tea which my volunteer circle made, and "agetako(揚げたこ)" which my class made. "hiroshima-fu okonomiyaki" is Japanese food which is made from flour, cabbages, eggs and meat. "agetako" is also Japanese food which is fried "takoyaki(たこ焼き)". Do you know or have you eaten them? I made the rounds of the booth. When I found my friends, I dashed to them and made them buy our products.
I also performed a band in the stage. I was a vocal and played Japanese punk songs in a band, which were "anatani(あなたに)" and "chiisanakoinouta(小さな恋のうた)" sang by MONGOL800 and "stay gold" and "dear my friend" sang by HI-STANDERED. A lot of my friends came and aroused the mood, so I enjoyed and jumped a lot. Our motto was youthfulness, it is called in Japanese "seishun(青春), so my costume was a high school uniform. We also made it a rule to wear colour tights. I wore blue tight. So it seemed a kind of a gag. This is the picture.
3rd day, we sold the foods like we did 2nd day. We also see the live of B-DASH which is the artist in Japan. It was awesome!! They sing some songs not in Japanese, English, any other languages, but in their own language. My favorite song is "CHO".

Mai! It sounds like you had a lot of fun at the school festival. All the food that you talked about sounded very delicious. What I especially liked was all the bands that were playing at festival. That reminds of a festival that we had last year with all of the dorms. There was tacos, burritos, a DJ, and a set of moto-cross guys that were doing tricks it was so much fun. I am curious. When you talk about the freshman wearing their original costumes, what did you mean by that? I hope that you had fun throughout the festival.

Thank you for your comments. It was fun very much. And it was also exciting to go to pub after the festival. I don't know the meaning of wearing our original costumes exactly, I think it means just for fun and making costumes with classmates also makes us make good friendship.
The festival that you had last year seemed to be fun, too. What is burritos?
