NO.14 "Homogaya Band Battle 2024" was held!

　On November 16th, "Hodogaya Band Battle 2024" was held at Hodogaya public hall.
　This event was born as a project commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Hodogaya Ward System, and this is the 17th anniversary this year, serving as a place for presenting student bands at high schools in the city and as an election enlightenment for young people. This year, 12 bands from three schools, Sakuragaoka High School, Yokohama Seifu High School, and Koryo High School, appeared, and a hot band battle was held.
　34 high school volunteers were involved in the operation of the event, and they were very active in a wide range of fields, from reception to venue guidance, moderator progress, and election quizzes between performances.
　After all the performances were over, they voted using the ballot box used in the actual election, and the winning band was decided. In the presentation of the results, I have tears of joy and tears of regret. Taking a glimpse of one page of youth, the surroundings were also involved in a whirlpool of excitement.
　The championship and runner-up band will appear on FM Yokohama again this year, so be sure to check it out! (Program name: Atsutsu Musician Broadcasting Date and Time: Friday, November 29 27:00 to 28:00)
　I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the Hodogaya Ward Youth Instructors' Council, the Bright Election Promotion Council, and the high school student volunteer staff for their efforts in holding the band battle. Thank you very much.
