You are an exchange student at a UK high school，and your teacher asked you to find an interesting story. You found this story to share in class next week.
THE CONTEST
”One more time，with feeling！” I encouraged my band.
We are capable musicians. In fact，our keyboardist，Yuki，is a classically− trained pianist who regularly performs in front of audiences. Kei，our bassist，has a huge number of followers because of the popular videos she uploads. However，the Ultimate Music Contest was only a few weeks away and I was kind of regretting that we had entered it. I was worried that my band Cat’s Curry wouldn’t be ready. Something felt wrong，but I couldn’t figure it out. We continued to practise until our rehearsal time was up. As band leader，I felt additional pressure about the contest. ”Tomo，you’re too worried. Everything will be OK，” Ren，our drummer，said as she smiled at me and waved goodbye. ”I hope so，” I thought to myself.
Back at home，I watched the video I had taken of our rehearsal. As I listened to Sayonara，and thanks for Everything，I thought my ears were playing tricks on me. I carefully listened a few more times. Although it was hard to notice，we were slightly out of rhythm. ”How could that be？” I wondered. As I continued to listen，I paid extra attention to each instrument. ”I’ve got it！” I thought excitedly.
At the next practice，I played back the recording and waited for everyone’s reaction.
”I’ve been practising every day！”
”These songs aren’t even difficult...”
”What’s the matter？”
They didn’t understand the problem，so I explained my discovery，”Each of us is showing off. We’re playing for ourselves，not for the band！” From that day on，our focus shifted and the band took a step forward on its musical journey. Like the saying goes，”The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.” Although Cat’s Curry did not win the contest，we all felt it was the best performance of our lives.
