Banquet of Soccoer team!


Boys varsity soccer team’s banquet was held last Sunday. We went to Kalbi House, a Korean BBQ restaurant in White Plains.

I went to North Rotunda at 2:30 pm. There were almost all players. It brought ma back to old memories, our soccer season that was over in last fall season.

It was my last soccer season. I felt like the season ended a long long long time ago and just recently also. It’s very strange feeling. Sometime I think I will do a manager of the team next year again. But I know it’s just my thought.

I didn’t go to Kalbi House for a long time, so I really looked forward to go there. I love Kalbi! We couldn’t use a school bus to go there because there was no supervisor (usually, supervisor is team’s coach, but we didn’t want our coach to come to our banquet, so we didn’t call him!) so we called some taxies. I rode on a taxi with a senior manager and two sophomore players.

When we arrived the restaurant, almost everyone was there already. We ordered lots of Kalbi (beef) and Chidimi (seafood scallion pancake)! I was so surprised how lot boy eat! There were almost boys so they ate well. And there was a Karaoke machine so some players sung songs. Some of them had no sense of direction so it was so funny to hear them! And some of them were good at singing and they had really nice performances! Players tried to make managers sing, but we didn’t sing. It was too embarrassing for me to sing a song in front of them!

The food was very nice, players made us laugh, and I could have a really nice time! After we almost finished, some of players ordered a Bibinba (flavored rice baked on a hot stone bowl). I was so surprised how much they ate! After everyone finished, we started speech. Each of us told each feeling about our soccer season. When the season was over, we didn’t have a meeting such a serious one. So it was a nice chance to know what each of us felt about our season and the season over. It was a so touching time for me.

We went back to Keio by taxies same as our way to. Four managers including me rode on a same taxi. The banquet was a really nice and it pasted so fast. I remember lots of things about the soccer season, and these memories will stay in my mind forever. This banquet will be a precious memory also. Sometimes we clash each other, but this team is still very important for me. We had been getting over lots of things, good things, and bad things too. I want to tell them both of my appreciation and apology.

Our season was already over and out banquet was finished also, but the senior bowl is still left! I really look forward that! I’m senior so I want senior team to win! It will be held in June. I can’t wait it!

I want to go to Kalbi House some time too. I like yaki-niku a lot but I haven't had any for a long time. I used to go to a really good place in Shonandai, but it went out of business. I haven't found such a good place since.

Btw, why didn't you want your soccer coach to come to the dinner? Didn't the team like him?
