Every time I watch and hear the Tachibana Senior High School band perform it brings a smile to my face. I love these kids and their dedication to entertain and play on key. They are a rarity in our world and deserve to be cherished like the National Treasure that they are. Thank you all for your amazing performances.

Der Tanz mit der Musik bewunderswert

[@user-guksan7777]

Playing musical instruments and dancing are the best.

[@polyboroides2615]

The finest band of 15 to 18 year old musicians in the world. They play with passion and enthusiasm. They are a joy to watch and listen to thru old fashion HiFi. Great sound quality.

[@leslieq958]

They are not just dancing, they are dancing with great balance, intonation, tempo. Well done.

[@wilson4019]

so...so...good! KTSHS Band is indeed very special

[@welshwizard55]

Never get tired of watching this tremendous band, well done to all of you. from UK

I'm sitting in front of my big smart TV and enjoying it. Best wishes from Bavaria in Germany.

[@PortiaRedpath]

Great job! I really appreciate the hard work and effort put into this project. It is inspiring to see such dedication and commitment. Keep up the good work and continue moving towards success. Your contributions are valuable, and your impact is felt by many. Thank you for all tha

[@kenshinflyer]

I'll never get tired of this amazing band. They always bring the party to where they go, giving cheer and smiles! Pound-for-pound, Kyoto Tachibana SHS Band is The Best in the World!

[@daiiahi3403]

I am just amazed and blown away that this band can do their routine in this confined space of a small stage!...Amazing precision and music!...Earth, Wind and Fire!

[@PrescottJackson-ih9ow]

You are totally correct 🤠

[@thestrengthline]

So delightful to see these young girls perform. The two Saxaphone players were amazing because their instruments were so large. I hope these girls really enjoy what they do because it takes a huge amount of work to get to this level. Hope they're allowed to be teens.

[@mike67uk]

KT continue best marching high school band in the world, powerful sound quality, song selection, choreography, beauty, entertainment, AWESOME!

[@danbysory]

The performance of young Japanese people in neighboring countries is very cool.

[@user-op4ut6mv8z]

好幸福的年青人👍我是台灣人，我也希望台灣的下一代、能像你們一樣，充！沖！衝！我的兒子他就沒什麼活力😢！他21歲了，でも⋯⋯ 😂我會將你們的影片傳給他的！年青真好，但同時也要好好珍惜！

[@jimmeade2976]

This band has maintained the same excellence for years, unbelievable considering its members keep changing. Playing flawless music is one thing, to do it with synchronized choreography as well is absolutely amazing. And all from memory.

[@richardrye7200]

Always a treat, for ear and eye!

[@janvjan]

A very nice performance👍. I greet you from Slovakia🇸🇰💓🇯🇵

[@goldentouch5838]

Everything was perfect the foot work while playing the instruments beautiful 🎉 ❤

[@magdiamin6134]

Real great Show thanks a Lot from Germany ❤

[@anthonylivingstone3168]

I wonder how many students Kyoto has trained over the years, Japan must be overflowing with musical talent. I am amazed at how they constantly achieve such high standards. Well done and always a pleasure to hear them.

[@jayceec_ross]

They practice several hours a day.... only have 3 days in the year that they do not practice. That's why they're awesome... and, committed!!

[@khriezolieangami3168]

Out standing great show. Wonderful 👍👍👍👍👍

[@PrescottJackson-ih9ow]

Yes these are high school kids and these great performances are the result of their extracurricular activity. We are fortunate to be able to watch these excellent videos. Keep working hard and please have fun. 👏👏😎

[@RemoPeter]

If you have a bad day, come here and watch Tachibana and you shall find peace!

[@igotplasteredstan2008]

This is so impressive, a brilliant performance by such talented musicians. Well done!

[@toshitominaga3911]

Great synchronization and sound!

[@daviddavid5880]

Kyoto, you might just be the coolest city on earth. The sights, the sounds, omg the food, and even your local high school band is amazing.

[@paulready8897]

Wow, the band looks and sounds like a well oiled machine. The sax solos were simply amazing.

[@skt1731]

Typical Japanese trait. Like autos, they took American band music and perfected it beyond belief.

[@harrisonfamilyfriends1381]

WOW, WOW, WOW! I have been following these amazingly talented young musicians for a few years, and I think this may be my favorite performance to date! I agree with every comment. Fantastic sound, no sheet music, choreographed, big smiles and waves! If Kyoto Tachibana SHS Band plays a return date in the US, as they did at the Rose Parade and Disneyland, I'm going!!!!

[@LL-ii1dc]

You have been missing the big news. They will be at the next Rose Parade just a few months away on January 1st, 2025 and at Disneyland a few days prior. I will be there to see them in person.

[@harrisongang]

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for letting me know. We just got season passes to Disneyland, so I will definitely go see them perform! I absolutely love watching these talented kids!

[@waltervetri2476]

You guys are awesome. Love from South Africa 🙏🇿🇦🙏

[@jerensamandari-rad3044]

This is one of the hundred reasons why Japan is my number ONE in the world!👏🏻

[@giuseppecorazzari2135]

🦂Non dobbiamo mai dimenticare che questa è una Scuola composta da una maggioranza di allievi minorenni che aspirano ad un diploma molto importante. Questa è una grande Scuola che ha sempre funzionato e le sue allieve si possono paragonare a vere professioniste.

[@PrescottJackson-ih9ow]

This is true these are high school kids have this great music is a product of extracurricular activities. We are fortunate to be able to watch the videos of the performances. They are working hard but they must have fun. 👏👏😎

[@ThomasBrisco]

I love their passion -- kudos to the director for such orchtestration, and to all the members for such strong teamwork. One of the best marching bands in the world!

[@gastonvillarroel7548]

I would like to express my sincere congratulations on your recent performance. To the band Tachibana. The exceptional quality of their music, the precision of their choreography and the introduction of the new color guards have left a lasting impression on all of us who had the pleasure of seeing them in the videos uploaded by the Japanese friends. thank you Keijiro Maeda.

[@CTCDetroit]

Exceptional band, who I always enjoy watching and listening to.

[@franciscomonroy3916]

From Mexico, congratulations. They are beautiful, and the band is incredible. Amazing

[@SecretsOfMartialArts]

Impressive! Japanese are amazing!

[@usmanbenthan1553]

So good so happy so smiley So Tachibana . Im sure not only myself but many many people around the World loves you all. God bless you all from the UK.

[@tare8863]

素晴らしい。 やっぱり橘のパフォーマンスは見入ってしまいますね😊

[@PrescottJackson-ih9ow]

The best of course. The song Think is amazing. It is so good perhaps make it longer. USA audiences will love it. KT is looking and sounding great. The MC is doing a fine job.👏👏🤠

[@gerardtay6810]

Seeing your performance brighten up my day. Enjoy it every time. ❤❤❤

[@Andi845]

WOW!!! What an amazing group of kids, and what talent!!!! 😗🤩😍

[@FlightEagle]

Bravo & thank you to all the students and teachers involved. Great performance.

[@patrickwest6876]

Their musicianship is terrific!!! Great choice of lively songs!!!

[@oddbirdinohio]

Absolutely fantastic young people being the best they can be and doing it as a team! Totally captivating! Thank you so much for visiting us in Taiwan!

[@momphert2026]

There is a choreography behind this, a sequence of different movements and paces, this requires hours and hours of study and practice. They also need a good memory to do this, remembering when to do what. Incredible for such young girls. All amateurs! And at the same time they must produce this perfect music. I am deeply impressed. Addendum: this was a joy to watch!!!

[@PrescottJackson-ih9ow]

I agree with everything you wrote 😎

[@brianwheway1933]

these students go into school around 6.30 am and undertake choreography, and drill movements for about 2 hours, then go to classes, then more music practice after school for x? hours, and this is five days week ! plus home work, and then go to concerts and lead marchers through out Japan, now thats what I call dedication

[@SoushinSen]

There are also young guys too, but I don't blame you for not noticing.

[@apveening]

@@SoushinSen Thanks for pointing that out. They however are a distinct minority.

[@LL-ii1dc]

@@brianwheway1933 They actually train seven days a week year-round even when school is not in session. Each year they only get about five days off. Very dedicated students.

[@pchyknrt]

Goodness. All these kids are just bursting with talent. Love watching them play, and march, and interact. What a great arts program they have in Japan. So sad it is all falling off here in the states.

[@paulromsky9527]

I am giving you a standing ovation! I loved how the Tubas changed their directions to get a phasing effect. Top notch!

[@Prius.Adventures]

Tachibana band is always great. Love Kyoto my favorite place in Japan.

[@user-Chris.Alger11]

Nice to see today's youth doing something wholesome and worthwhile. Great to watch. ; )

[@mmontes15]

Nice job by the sax soloist on the Kool and the Gang tune!

[@eldergeektromeo9868]

Saw them several years ago in Pasadena. What a tremendous honor!! Their fans in Japan know how to celebrate!

[@LL-ii1dc]

You can see them again at the Rose Parade in Pasadena on January 1st, 2025. Just five short months away.

[@Oregairu-tz2hn]

[@user-to4rt4dy1s]

Sim, sim e sim professor, 👍 👍 👍 7:03

[@anAeijingBuffoon]

They can do all that and play at the same time? I always love giving you guys two thumbs up 👍 👍.

[@greymattermatters404]

I have to remind myself that these are high school kids!! They are great!

[@voiceofreason9238]

This is the best version of this band I've seen. Love from the US

Love 「Think」song so much 10:28

[@kiwihawk2563]

2008 been 17 years now ..still going strong wish thay come to New Zealand as many here see Japan as our Sister Country as we are around the same sizes island ....

[@charlesmoncel]

Still very Good, after all these Years!!!

[@shanuprateek777]

Beautiful as always 😍 Wish to see TSHSB Live in person some day 🥹

[@frankmccann29]

Intonation balance timbre timing. Nice work. 🧒 Kids you're going somewhere. Nice Sax leads.❤

[@MichaelNaydeck]

Ms. Clarinet soloist, you have such a sweet tone for that solo. The rest of Tachibana sounds as incredible as ever. Another great performance.

[@user-xg9xj5wb9x]

Wonderful show. Watching from Dhaka, Bangladesh.

[@phillipescott9764]

It’s good to see and hear you all again. The sound seems to be better than ever - perhaps a little less shrill with the high woodwind - though I’m not sure whether that is due to the arrangements or the recording technology. Please come to visit us in the UK sometime 🇬🇧.

[@user-rt5dr6qm7f]

Браво! Представил, сколько было тренировок!

[@joshburns493]

So much work these kids did for this show.

[@malcolmone1]

fantastic as usual

[@MakerBoyOldBoy]

These musicians are always excellent and are easily one of the best things Japan has to offer. There is a beloved movie I believe was inspired by these most talented youngsters. It is entitled Swing Girls. I would strongly suggest Blu-ray.

[@thevoses3072]

I have been following this band for a while. Whenever I come across a video of the group, I have to stop everything and watch it. This was great as always!

[@BigPUNoy]

you pick one thing to look at and it all moves at the same time, perfectly!! the precision and timing is just AMAZING!!! great job, everyone!!

[@laurencetilley9194]

Very talented, young musicians, and they can dance to. I enjoyed the show. Thank you.

[@rodgercodger53]

These kids are friggin' GREAT!

[@northernbohemianrealist1412]

This is the greatest high school band on the planet. People have NO IDEA how much work this takes. In the US, everything else would be more important - sports practice, part time job, weekend at the cabin, and then they wonder why the bands look and sound the way they do. These kids and their parents are exceptional!

[@hoogends]

Totally agreed !

[@star-army]

The Kyoto Tachibana SHS Band practices before and after school, and on both weekend days, and in the summer, for a total of 360 of 365 days of the year.

[@northernbohemianrealist1412]

@@star-army This group makes me cry. I taught school music for eight years and had a belly full. Everyone wants the band to march on Memorial Day, but parents have 'other priorities.' My students wanted to march, but I could no longer take the dozens of whiney excuse phone calls. The very sad thing is that this kind of band could exist in every town in America, but football, McDonalds jobs, family cabins, and 'I'm tired of picking up my kid after school' take precedence here.

[@LL-ii1dc]

Hopefully the U.S. high school bands will learn something from them when Kyoto Tachibana SHS participates in the upcoming Rose Parade in Pasadena on January 1st, 2025. Many people in Japan says that whenever a company finds out a job applicant was once a Kyoto Tachibana SHS band member, they would get hired immediately due to their hard-working reputations.

[@shanuprateek777]

Exactly 🥹♥️I have no words of how delighted or happy I feel when I see such dedication and perfection in a their performances. Japan is truly a beautiful country.♥️

[@didiercharente-maritime147]

Hello, I hope you and your family are all well, Ile à Communauté? Thank you all, great concert; dynamism; professionalism, I cried with happiness watching you, I thank everyone, the participants, the Production, the organizers, the musicians. You are great - Didier Charente-Maritime France💞💝🙏

TACHIBANA...FOREVER...!!! 👏👏👏👏👏🎶📽️🖋️📖🖌️🎨

[@cadenza3210]

What continues to amaze me is that after the end of a pretty strenuous show, they *finish* with "Sing Sing Sing" which has the most energetic dancing of all. They are in very good shape.

[@LL-ii1dc]

These students train like Olympic athletes - about 35 hours all seven days per week year-round even when school is not in session. Each year they only get five days off.

[@MrGbscott1954]

They're always great!

[@Yakumo2300]

Vielen Dank! Grüß aus Deutschland

The best high school band I have ever heard. Wow. Kids here are too much into tiktok and bs to perform like this. Hell I teach school and wish our students were a third as disciplined. My wife was an alto sax player and damned good, won scholarships for it.

[@jacksmail7725]

You would be wonderful addition to the Americas Got Talent tv show! jP in Central Florida.

[@Derya890]

It is so amazing that the girls and boys of the KTB never need sheet music. They memorise the many notes and the many dance steps. I am always impressed 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Hope-iz5vs]

So good, must come to see you all!

[@ricdale7813]

Tacibana takes High Quality Marching band performance and execution and up's the level x10. The complete dedication and mastering by each member is both Staggering and Wonderful. It's easy to see why this HS band is absolutely World Renowned. The amount of artistry that this school graduates is Mind Boggling.

[@LinKongDa]

FANTASTIC!

[@giovannigherarducci2331]

Che meraviglia! Vorrei dire grazie ad ognuno di voi! ❤

[@WhittleDude]

You all are amazing. One of the best bands I've seen in a long time. And the best part was seeing how much fun you were having. Great job.
