Title is inaccurate… ‘cause they’re on fire.

Tachibana High School Band, out of Kyoto.
Nawoi
Meute. If this is your thing, look them up!

Tachibana kicks so much ass

The people in the crowd who are clapping off the beat upset me very much.
Dakemesh
Fun, but is it a marching band when it can't march?
Sebastopol140
I want to celebrate more!!! Too short!
OperationRustysBlanket
Come on!
RedTwoX
Ceeeeeeeeeeeela brate good times COME ON!!!!!

Japanese High school bands are sensational. You can find some outstanding examples on You Tube.

And this one time... at Japanese band camp
PunnyTiger
bless Tachibana for an ongoing supply of cute, fit, band nerd girls, some of which go on to form jazz, brassy rock and metal bands
DonIsMe
Humans are cool.

How do they match with the trap set and conga drums?
unluckyandbored
In case anyone doesn't recognize the tune, it's "Celebration" by Kool & the Gang

I think I heard it at a brass festival in the Netherlands once. I had to flee at some point in order to maintain my hearing though, because these things are LOUD.
bingotown
Thank you! I knew it was something from my youth but couldn’t place it.
Ardback
so cute !

More of THIS at the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade and less sucky sucky.

Well now, let's not be hasty
imjustheretoholdyourhandwhenyoudie
The smiles are all great, especially between the horn players
eronth
Was there a cut in the first like 5 seconds of the song? really?
DdCno1
Social media attention spans. At some point, we won't have any videos anymore, only static images that can be quickly scrolled past.
eronth
Full circle, got it.

It has got to be really difficult to be in a marching band when you are on the drums

Why are there never any 'Pyrotechnics without performance' posts? Feels unfair.
BrickaBrackaFireCracker
It'd be a lot cooler with pyrotechnics though.
StubbDubya
Can barely contain the grins. Love it!
Whoisthisdoctorwho2000
I'm lost, why would there be pyrotechnics?
Hemtroll
There are two kinds of performances. Those with pyrotechnics and those without pyrotechnics. Hope this clears everything up for you.
Whoisthisdoctorwho2000
No... not at all

I use to counsel at camp and we shared the grounds with band camp from a nearby state. They would practice all week and then put on a show for our kids at the end of the week. Our kids went nuts every year. They loved it.

Is this what happens when you don't feed your children trash at a public United States school?!?!
OnlyByMoonlight
To be fair, a lot of US school systems tried to improve the health quality of public school lunches. The problem was that US kids wouldn't eat it. Because why eat a celery stick when the snack machine is in the same room.

Don’t tell Disney!

Pretty sure the Kyoto Tachibana band has performed at Tokyo Disneyland.

I was going to ask for a marching band anime but of course it exists...what's the title?
MuffinProof
Hibike! Euphonium. (Sound! Euphonium)
datphone777365
Its like k-on, which is also good.
titoitoi
I somehow expected Japan high school marching bands to be less .. exuberant? Wonder if this is common.
Nic3Ntertainment
To be fair, we are talking about the same country that developed Kabuki.
Though, also Noh. So...it kind of evens out, I guess.
m0problems
My impression is that Japanese teenagers are allowed to be exuberant - but as soon as you graduate you are expected to be a good worker drone if you're a man, or housewife if you're a woman.
eronth
It's also generational change that's slowly working into the rest of society everywhere, Japan included. Slow, but happening.
MeFirstThanYou
Plus its a "classic performance" where your audience is relatively far away. Exuberant movement and expressions are normal there, because you want to communicate to people who can be like 20-30m away.
