6月1日に筑波大学平砂宿舎においてやどかり祭が開催され、体操部は本祭でのステージ発表を行いました。このステージが初めての発表となった部員や初めての技に挑戦した部員が多い中ではありましたが、本番では練習以上の技を実施出来たことから、フレッシュな素晴らしい発表にできたのではないかと思います。それも、当日見に来ていただき、盛り上げてくださった多くの観客の方々や卒業生のおかげです。感謝申し上げます。
以下、参加した部員からのコメントです。
ここで改めて、「出来る事」と「魅せる事」の違いを実感しました。やどかり祭までの活動を通して「出来る」の先の「魅せる」まで辿り着けたので、この経験を次に繋げていきたいと思います。
最後に、僕がここまでの大きな経験値を得る事が出来たのは、毎日練習に付き合って下さった先生、先輩方のおかげです。まだ入部して2ヶ月の未熟者ですがこれからもよろしくお願いします。これからもっと多くの作品を通して成長できるように日々精進していきます！

When I first entered in the Gymnastics Club, by recommendation of Shigeki, my friend and tutor in the University of Tsukuba, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to participate in a performance: everything looked so hard, and the members were very skilful in all parts of their training. Even with it, the members received me very well and we started trainning together for the Yadokarisai Festival, knowing limitations and working them to improve thresholds.
At Yadokarisai Festival, it was incredible to put everything we trained in the last month in action, in front of a relatively big audience on main stage. It was a different feeling of when we were training inside the gymnasium, as that was for real, Even the other members told me to just have fun, I was focused too on doing my best and doesn’t commiting mistakes, as I knew I was able to do everything in a good level, and I wanted to show it.
The presentation was very funny, and we did a good job regarding presentation, as we didn’t commited mistakes, and entertained the audience and ourselves, having fun. I am glad I had this opportunity, thanks to the members that received me so well and were patient enough to help me during trainings.
I am sure thia day, my first gymnastics performance, will go back home with me when I return to Brazil, as a moment that I will remind with joy through my life.
