That's a great band! Super-smart uniforms, beautiful playing, buttery-smooth sound, pinpoint timing and an aerobics class thrown in for free! The crowd obviously enjoyed the performance. 😃

Did you realise that it’s all girls

@@Dodger0103 Yes thanks, I do have working eyes. Apparently in Japan it is primarily girls who sign up for the school Marching Band (although that is rapidly changing) and they've made such a good job of it several of them are ranked amongst the _world's_ best. If you are a Yank watch out for the 2025 Rose Bowl Parade - there is at least one Japanese High School Band taking part.

@@gagatube Hi nice to hear from you And yes, the Rose Parade will have the Kyoto Tachibana SHS Band performing in the New Parade, as well as many other events. They nearly were not, due to cost of getting there. But crowd funding and donations have meant the school will attend as invited guests.

hysk 577san, thank you so much for the successive updates of their performance in Nice. This time, Waseda WB performed very well, especially in terms of music selection, composition, instrumentation, formation moving, gymnastics, etc. The music selection was very considered, taking into account children's, adults', French, Middle Eastern, etc. The audience was complimenting the musicians after the performance, and it was clear that they were satisfied with that. And also, There was a wonderful opportunity to mingle with the locals.
The end is really beautiful when the girls handout badges to the audience and speak in French Sadly I didn’t hear one French person speak back in Japanese Dōmo arigatōgozaimasu. 🙏
Have you noticed not a single piece of sheet music 😱 Yes they know everything of by heart and that is back home Japan they practice 40 hours a week over 7 days outside of the school work, weekend and holidays. This is common of the High School bands.
