Miss them all , graduated from the High School by now. Wish them all the best in whatever they are doing now. 💕❤️KTSHS band, simply the best. From S’pore
This is such a talented group of performers. From Pimo, to the two xylophone players (Tippi and the other I don't know her name, but they are both rock stars), to the young lady on the snare, the colour guard, DM Ron on clarinet, the young lady with the prosthetic leg and all the others, they are truly awesome. Beautiful smiles, beautiful dancing, beautiful music, and all without skipping a beat or missing a note. Kyoto has something very special in this Tachibana SHS band.

I call lil, ( guess she is a grown woman now), Hitomi---"Girl with Heart of a Lion"---what a fighter she had to be all her life. From what I have gleamed, from various posts, she never asked for one ounce of pity, or even a tiny bit of acknowledgement for her struggle! The band tried to honor her with a title of Assistant DM, but she politely declined, preferring to continue playing her flute. Has anyone else in the band been honored in such a way? Truly, Truly a model for the Human Race to emulate:))

@@jameslipe210 Her nickname was/ is Kurara. If you were to ask Paul Miller on this site, he can tell a lot more about the young lady, who stayed with his family whilst in Pasadena for the Rose Parades. I see now she is a Fire Angel for the Kyoto Fire Service band carrying a flag and dance routines in a uniform style mini skirt. A total hero, even if she modestly does like that attention 👏. Even now an inspiration to people who have a handicap 🤗

@@jameslipe210 Yes indeed, unfortunately I've come across quite a few people with much lessor handicaps that live in a shroud of negativity, but, who am I to judge anyone; I'm not the one with the handicap. Nevertheless, having seen numerous videos where she continually performed exquisitely together with the rest of the band, I'd vote her for the most inspirational person of the decade.

Hi Dancing Queen, nice to see you with your flute and dancing with grace. Tachibana really trains their band members quite masterly not only with their precision moves but playing their musical instruments.
Those dance moves in 3:09 are unbelievable; I mean in unison, their playing and dance marching are unmatched by any marching band in USA.... the KTSHSB videos are hypnotically addicted...I think it’s the dancing that effects out psyche and keeps us mesmerized...great video....thank you

Indeed - almost every other band may be musically good, and march in step, throw in the occasional groove, and we see the color guards doing all the dance moves... but KT take it to the next level by getting the BAND to be the chorus line... do it whilst playing cheerful, recognizable tunes, AND cheerfully smile. That's the KT charm. Join us on the fan blog where this addiction can be nourished :)

I always come back to your video ..I like the way you follow the band.. I personally believe that this is the strongest and happiest group of the band...I don't blame those people following them for I will be one of them if i got the chance to be there....the band is like telling you " come follow us and we will give you a once in a lifetime entertainment with so much fun in a parade !".... Just watch this lady ( left side of your screen ) at 6:10, 16:20, 16:55 and follow her she dance like a member of the band !.... then the golden smile of Tippi at 8:00....Kyoto Tachibana you're the best !..nobody can immitate you !..Sugoi !

Any parade without Tachibana is in reality missing something.

@@CaseyRoche That's true, former bandmates almost always support their former school band (see a lot of them in Sakura parade), in fact there is a few of them in this video following the band. For me the best Tachibana band was the class of 112 (2015) when they won the national gold, their performance on that day of competition was perfect! Musically pitch perfect with emotional highs and low, choreography all in sync. Great band!
I marched xylophone in parades in high school , it is so heavy , you would not believe. i am 61 years old , own and marched xylophone in a parade June in San Antonio Texas . It was 98 degrees that day , i only made it 8 blocks , i was about to faint . She is a strong young musician , very strong , luv it .
