I replayed this video with my eyes shut. Believe me, I would never be able to explain that this was an ELEMENTARY school musical unit I was listening to! What difference between the Japanese culture and ours. Awesome!

[@chopinfrederic5040]

Everyone here is an adult already... how time flies

[@AmazingErrChannel]

This seems like a marching band, they march and do visual performances and they’re so good. I can’t believe that this is an elementary school. In America, elementary school bands are nowhere near the quality of this band.

[@meguchan5814]

Now i understand why kyoto tachibana and other japanese band was so good

[@stummkind]

why though?

[@VALAREZ]

@@stummkind I guess cause they've all likely been laying at a high level since they were kids. I've seen many a western world adult band with less discipline and worse sound quality than this. I figured, maybe some of the highscool kids just picked up an instrument when they got to the school cause the bad was popular..................unlikely, the choreography is probably a bigger challenge for them than the music by the time they get there.

[@mcargina1]

Music is part of their academic curriculum, you have to pass it to pass. From pre school to high school. Every Japanese know how to read notes even the blind!!

[@bigx9963]

They start young. Very impressive.

[@user-ui3mk9dt2q]

There are few elementary schools which have music band like this. So, most of students who want to play the instruments start when they are junior high school students or high school students.

[@JustClaude13]

My word! That soprano sax is almost as tall as the player! They worked hard to achieve that quality at that age. My compliments!

[@imgg100]

あ〜ら、やわらかく管楽器をまるで弦楽器のように鳴らせるなんて信じられない・素晴らしい！！

[@marilynscott2662]

Not only are these kids clever at music.they are cute too!

[@igatian1951522umare]

この子たち、橘と同じで何度も聴いてしまう。曲もいいし、素晴らしい。なぜか涙が出てしまう。

[@alistairstuart1963]

If you start by teaching a child the principles of discipline, dedication, and determination, they start life with the three main tools that will benefit them throughout their lives. The wonderful people of Japan have known and proven this throughout their glorious history and this video is a sample of it on display. A "Great Job" by these wonderful children. God bless the children and God bless the nation of Japan. And just for the record, I am an American who speaks and respects "truth."

[@wave8359]

uhmm,,,,,,NOT all of their history was "glorious"...............

[@johnpierre3255]

They are purging their inglorious past.Tachibana leads the way.

[@TheLocoUnion]

Nobody’s history is all glorious.

ブラボー！！！　僕は下黒瀬小学校の　トランペット鼓隊の初代の団員だった。あれから46年たった。　まだ中黒瀬小学校には管楽器を使った鼓笛隊も無かったころ、僕たちはTV出演したものだったが、今回の演奏は、物珍しさとかのそれとはかけ離れた優れた演奏だった。素晴らしい！！！　隣町の出身として誇りに思うよ。

[@francesconoce3056]

There is no difference in talent in each country . People are all over the world the same . But there is a BIG difference in culture and in the music department Japan kicks our asses . Nothing to be ashamed of . just enjoy their dedication and music . That is what i do .

[@BazColne]

Whoever tutored this group of musicians must be very pleased by the results.

[@TasmaBaton]

Simply great! What kind of a jerk could give those kids a thumbs down?? Really?? They were awesome and I guess thumbs down folks are jealous

[@fundnn5074]

音楽も演奏も印象的でまた来てしまいました。

Without knowing, from the sound, you would that to be a college band!🎸🎹🎷🎺

Some college bands don’t sound this good 🤣

Japan chlidren well interpretations...Yamaha so beautifull...

[@littlebritain64]

Even very young japanese musician are so talented! Good luck to all of them!!👍

[@sippysippymcjesus9172]

These kids are amazing! If I showed this to our 7th grade band, their jaws would be to the ground.

[@nowar458]

Amazing musicians for Elementary. Performs & Sound better than majority of US high school bands.

[@alistairstuart1963]

I often visit this page just for the promise of hope that the music in the world will never die. These talented young people are that hope.

[@space5776]

Amazing !!!

[@Ackchyually]

Beautiful

[@Grazziela44]

I'm going to cry. I've been playing trombone since I was ten and can't believe our schools in California have eliminated music programs altogether....what our kids are missing out on......this is beautiful!

[@bigx9963]

Music skills provide kids with better mathematics skills. My son played piano when he was young (

[@walterclark7357]

@@bigx9963 So true. I played four instruments in school bands.

[@volcommaner]

I actually cried for the first time in 10 years..! I absolutely loved this song with all my heart. It was truely heart-warming that if I was at war and these kids played a song for me before I died my deepest regret would be that I could never listen to them again! Ii applaud your excelent form and professionality. Great job.

[@georgewells5322]

OH MY GOD!!! I can,t believe how good these youngsters are, WOW!!!😃😃😃

[@MrCervuselaphus]

what polished performers! There must be a lot of proud Mums and Dads there well done all.

[@davewhiteside6698]

If I hadn't have seen this with my own eyes, I'd never have believed that such a high standard of discipline and musicianship, came from little ones of such a young age. I am truly amazed! I hope those young ones go on in their love for brass band music. And I wish them all, well for the future. You are a credit to your family, to your school and to your country.

[@derrickmcmillian563]

This is too cute. Not only that, but to see such a young group perform this well is amazing.

[@derrickmcmillian563]

What 11 people disliked this video... :/

[@defunctuser8281]

+Derrick McMillian People jealous of their amazing skill.

[@peterlutz7191]

OMG and these are Elementary School children! If they have this much talent now, wait until they're older! Awesome kids!

[@wiljam2]

well.... then they go Kyoto Tachibana....

[@robertshrewsbury4241]

What nice sound they are making. It transcends languages.

[@1951RKP]

Discipline and dedication.

[@DanS24106]

This elementary band is better than 80% of the high school bands in the US.

[@BillBenzon]

I love how utterly serious and, well, noble the musicians are.

[@thomasyamaguchi6434]

Nice.

[@pine-ame9671]

This is so beautiful

[@philmeekings9425]

Thank you Japan. Thank you for the music for giving it to me. There's a song there somewhere. You teach the children so young that they become brilliant musicians. Music will never die. Thank you again 👍👏👏

[@trumpetmano]

Very, very good for Elementary level musicianship. Excellent.

[@richardlong3745]

Wow, outstanding band and their just elementary students.

[@dunruden9720]

they are...they're

[@skadaaskadeen]

Now this, Is why I admire Japan

[@kenshinflyer]

Ho-lee Molly... For grade schoolers, their performance is PERFECT.

[@roberthager9573]

Cannot even imagine elementary kids in the USA doing this

[@Ninjapants237]

Robert Hager It matters how early the young musicians began! Then of course US kids could do it, if they put their minds to it and tried.

[@Eyes-of-Horus]

In the U.S. funding has been drastically cut to the arts. They are considered unimportant. So, music and art appreciation as well as music and art classes have been dropped from the curriculum. When music was required there was a lot better music available to the public and especially to young people. This is amazing for grade and middle school students.

[@NickJay]

OR UK, Robert. And whilst what Alex said is undoubtedly true, too, I bet Japanese kids don't spend all their free time playing on mobile phones either!

[@larryrucker]

@51HankySpanky Are you so stupid as to think the reason our schools are failing is because of guns. I have seen leftist idiocy, but you define the top echelon of derangement with statements like that. DUH!

[@icgaming4508]

No the question is can they be better than blue devils

[@BillBenzon]

Yes, huge props to the girl playing soprano. Good tone and in tune.

[@alistairstuart1963]

These young children are Awesome musicians

Amazing Elementary Band, very well taught musicians. Most impressive. Simply incredible.

[@Ghostfunkable]

What a great music program and such talent! It all starts early for the High School bands.

[@r01dtox15]

Some of those kids will grow-up to be kindergarten teachers... And start to teach their pupils to do some -disturbing- wonderful things. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4XYnqN9ad9psJo kzbin.info/www/bejne/iabEaKhmmdFprrc

Excellently performed, The quality of the musicianship of these young people is stunning. My congratulations to the student, the parents, and the teachers, for these young people to be playing at such an accomplished level at their age is simply amazing. Thank you very much for sharing.

[@kendean5058]

Marvelous performances

[@burleybater]

These kids are incredible. They have me asking the obvious question. How many of them will grow up to become professional musicians? And if this is how it is at elementary level, what are the standards like at the top?

Those children are really very good. I love the song and I can't get it out of my mind anymore :-)

[@高惠霖]

Bravo!......真是棒!

[@WorldMusic-bu8fd]

So nice

[@bravomusicincmovie]

Yes, actually. Grades 4, 5 and 6. There are many such bands in Japan, and younger schools (primary, kindergarten) will have small instrument bands such as percussion, melodicas, recorders, etc., whatever configuration motivated teachers and students wish to create. It is all voluntary and non-curricular.

[@FrankDeFelicecasan]

Awesome band and the director too!!

[@stevenhopkins2887]

Damn, I was a cornet player when I was 5 years old, but these girls are much better!

Vraiment super surtout toute cette musique jouée par des enfants

[@doko1900]

Fantastic !!! Congratulation !!!

[@itsumo321]

These bands are simply after-school activities in typical schools, not schools of the arts or such. Schools encourage or require clubs for character development, not future professions-just for fun and personal growth. Difference in Japan is that students can only belong to one full time club, and should give it their all. Degree of "success" depends on initiative of club sponsor, or director. This effort is also voluntary-no credit, no salary, only for love of the art or sport.

[@boatsandcanals]

Fantastic, most enjoyable. Thank You.

[@onehandcowboy]

so young and so much talent. Simon Cowell would say "Now that is absolutely brilliant" :) Well done
