After School
Sports Festival Planning Committee - First Meeting
BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play
Committee Member A
It sounds like we're in agreement. We'll stick to the same events as usual from previous years.
Committee Member B
As for setting up the day of, that will be the same way as well. Duties will be divided up between committee members and...
Haruka
(I always imagined Sports Festivals as everyone working together to come up with fun ideas.)
Haruka
(I guess Hoshino did mention that not many of the students here get particularly excited about school events, so this is probably normal.)
Saki
You were nice enough to join the committee with me, but this probably isn't what you were expecting, huh?
Haruka
It's okay, Tenma. This is a prep school after all, so everyone is probably focused more on their studies than school events.
Committee Member A
Alright, that should do it for today's initial meeting.
Committee Member B
Huh?
Committee Member A
Wh-What do you mean...?
Emu
I'm guessing there are a lot of girls here who aren't very athletic and don't even like the Sports Festival...
Emu
But I wanna come up with something that even they remember as being super fun and stuff!
BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play
Committee Member A
Sh-Show...?
Emu
And the more fun everyone has during the event, the more energized they'll be for school after that!
Sound Effect: Play
Emu
So I think we should all come up with some fun events, decorate the place together and...
Committee Member A
Yeah, but the committee this year is so small. Even if we do come up with new ideas, there's no telling if we'll even have enough time to get ready.
BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play
Committee Member B
That's right. We also have to keep in mind that we have exams coming up right after too...
Committee Member B
We're all taking time away from our studies to do this. Asking everyone to invest even more time might be going a little too far.
Committee Member A
I appreciate your suggestions, Emu, but I just don't think it's very feasible.
Committee Member A
You're...
Haruka
This is an event where everyone at school is supposed to participate, so I think we should make it enjoyable for as many people as possible.
BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play
Committee Member A
That still doesn't change the fact that we just don't have the manpower to handle a bunch of new events.
Haruka
There's a guidebook in the library that details everything about this school's past Sports Festivals. I went through it earlier today and saw a few that might be fun.
Haruka
Since they were held in the past, all the necessary equipment should still be here and setup shouldn't be a problem.
Haruka
The current format also splits each event up by grade, but what if we had all grades competing together?
Committee Members
Wouldn't that be a little difficult?
Committee Members
Yeah, that sounds like a lot of extra work...
Haruka
If students can choose when to practice ahead of time, we can have all grades practice together and it shouldn't take too much time out of their schedules.
Haruka
These changes should be manageable even with a small committee like this or not a lot of time to practice to go around.
BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play
Committee Member A
We might actually be able to pull off something like this...
Committee Member B
But we'll have to decide which events to bring back and come up with a practice schedule for all of the students...
Haruka
That won't be a problem. Otori and I made these suggestions, so we will come up with a few proposals before the next meeting.
Emu
Oh, hey! Since we're making changes, why not make the opening ceremony a big show too?!
Emu
We could have clouds of smoke everywhere for a giant robot to fly out of, and have it zoom around the track and stuff!
Next Chapter: Action!
