Shiho
That reminds me. As I mentioned last time, we'll be holding a joint practice with the cast during the second half.
Band Member
Right!
Nakanishi
Okay! Ready, everyone?! One, two, three...
Shiho
(The people who kept falling behind because they were being overly conscious are keeping up just fine with the others now.)
Band Member
The cast should be here soon, right?
Band Member
Yeah, my friends in the cast said they're almost here.
*Door Opening*
Airi, Ichika, Emu & An
Pardon us! Pardon us. Pardon us!!
Shiho
Then, we'll begin our joint practice once the cast has had a chance to warm up. In the meantime, everyone in the band, let's take a break.
Band Member
Right!
*Crowd Chattering*
Band Member
I'm starting to get nervous again. I know we're not playing in front of an audience or anything, but...
Band Member
Y-Yeah... What if I mess up and ruin it for everyone?
Band Member
Oh, Hinomori... I'm starting to feel nervous again.
Band Member
B-But it's okay for us to mess up since we're just practicing, right?
Shiho
In my case, I tend to believe that you shouldn't make any mistakes in these sorts of situations.
Band Member
Huh?
Shiho
When you're up there for the main event, that's when you need to play your best and not make any mistakes.
Shiho
So, doesn't it make sense to keep that same mindset when you're practicing, and get as close to perfect as you can under conditions close to the real deal?
Band Member
Good point... Still, it's amazing how you can push yourself to the limit like that.
Band Member
*Sigh* Is that why I keep messing up during competitions and stuff? Do I need to be harder on myself?
Band Member
Oh...
Band Member
Oh... M-Momoi?!
Airi
Yeah, it's important to do your best during practice, but there's still time to correct any mistakes you make! If at first you don't succeed, you just gotta try, try again!
An
We heard Hinomori really runs people ragged during practices, so with you all managing to keep up, you guys are sure to sound amazing!
Ichika
Also, during our own practices, Shiho always looks so proud when she tells us how things are going here.
Ichika
She's always saying how you're going to sound amazing when you play for real, and that's why she wants to make things as much fun for you as she can.
Band Member
We didn't know you felt that way, Hinomori...
Band Member
Wow, I'm starting to feel a lot better now!
Nene
We got to hear a part of your performance earlier. We knocked once you'd reached a place to stop.
Nene
I thought you all sounded amazing already the other day, but you sounded even better today. I got excited just listening to you guys play.
Band Member
Yeah, but I'm not worried! I mean, we've practiced a ton together now, Hinomori!
Band Member
So, let's all do our best!
Band Member
Yeah!
Band Member
Right!

Luka
You were all so busy getting ready for Shibu Schools Fest until a few days ago, but now you're right back to your regular routine.
Ichika
Oh, speaking of Shibu Schools Fest. Have you all had a chance to see the video of the musical?
Ichika
Yeah, they're apparently thinking of doing the festival again in the future, so they wanted a reference video for the archive.
Shiho
Remember that time after band practice when you suddenly asked me to stand here and pretend to be Lulu? You really startled me.
Ichika
I didn't ask you because I knew you wouldn't have been able to stop yourself from giggling, Saki.
Luka
I had a chance to listen to the band play as you practiced with them, and you always sounded good. But you were astonishing when it came to the real thing.
Shiho
Our songwriters put a huge amount of effort into these songs, so I want to give them the respect they deserve.
Shiho
After all, we only get one chance to play them together like this. If there's anything at all we can do, I want to do it. No regrets.
Band Member
Hinomori...
Band Member
You're right... These kinds of opportunities don't come around often, so we should give it our best shot.
Saki
But everyone was super busy backstage, and we didn't want to get in the way. So, we watched them put your makeup on for a bit, then headed back to our seats.
Rin
No fair. I wanted to see them getting their makeup put on too. They should have taken a video of that part, too.
Luka
They said the recording was for reference purposes, right? Then I have to believe someone took video of everything that went on behind the scenes, too.
Shiho
We have our hands full as it is getting ready for Jam Fest, so we're gonna get back in the saddle and practice like we really mean it.
*Rustle*
Ichika, Saki & Honami
Yeah! Okay!
