I am glad to say that me and my wife were in attendance for Toho’s presentation. It was a TREMENDOUS SHOW! We loved the aspects of the show that featured tributes to Japanese culture. The girl that sang in Japanese had a beautiful voice. Looking forward to researching more of Toho’s performances on KZbin!

Do research, they are one of the top 20 bands in Japan and won many tournaments over the and as the compare said these bands change members every three years. Hence the dedication of hours upon hours of practice ,practice. Finally thank you for your lovely comments, the Toho kids will really appreciate that. Did you go to their final concert,which is always done for charity and also to all the helpers in America who help with the cost , by having students stay in their homes. There will be a video soon of the event and it becomes quite emotional at the end. I can’t deny I have shed a few tears watching..

By the way, They were told there was going to be a charity show in FEST, but I didn't listen to it at the time and didn't actually go. Next year, I would like to go see the show based on more information.

First of all thank you for sharing your video. Toho are a great Japanese High School Band. As always with Japanese School Bands , it’s an activity club, not part of the school curriculum. These students spend 40 hours a week of their own time over 7 days a week. I love their Uniforms, so outstanding. The band is made of nearly all female ( as most bands are in high school). I enjoyed the girl singing her solo and really enjoyed the man in the crowd singing with her, quite moving. Domo Arigato.

I can imagine that they must have really practiced a lot. You knows a lot of things about Toho, don't you? I read in an article that TOHO was a mixed team of college and high school students, but it was only high school students?. Thanks for your comment.

@@user-gt6nb7ix7v Thank you for your lovely message. I am not the total expert on Toho and normally on this tour the school has past members join to increase the number for the mass band parade. My favourite band is Kyoto Tachibana ( and they are appearing in 2024/25 RP), last time they went was 2018. By the way I am English and have never been to Japan ( apart from a stopover in Tokyo airport on the way to Australia). Had the opportunity to test my not very good Japanese 😂). But I was so impressed with the politeness of the people and the wanting to be helpful . Dōmo arigatōgozaimasu.

I am glad that you have a good impression of Japanese people. I am an American born and raised in Japan. I hope we can enjoy Kyoto Tachibana together at the end of this year and next New Year's. Thank you very much.

カラーガードの方々、侍と馬、歌い手、ダンス、いずれも素晴らしいパフォーマンスでした。 そして、その演出を輝かせるために、自らの演技は封印し、裏方に徹したマーチング部隊の方々。お見事でした。 そしてパレードでは一転して、圧巻の演奏、演技を披露し人々を熱狂の渦へと巻き込みました。 バンドフェス、パレード、全てが素晴らしかったです。 TOHO MARCHING BAND 最高の時間をありがとう。
