All of the teaching of the dancing, and choreography, is done by the students themselves. No adults involved other than the music teacher who gathers them in one room for group practice. The rest of the time, the seniors ("3rd graders") do all of the work, making it all happen. Only in Japan!
I discovered Kyoto Tachibana SHS by chance on youtube six months ago. Since then, this music with the fantastic girls has never let me go. I have read everything that I could find on the net so far and I listen to at least three hours of music from KT EVERY DAY. It's like an addiction. Everything fits together in a perfection that I have never seen or heard before. My tip, I do it exactly like this: I sit very close in front of my 55 inch smart TV with headphones on. Connected with a cable, not with bluetooth, because bluetooth always creates a slight delay between the picture and the music. And because of the big picture and the good stereo sound, I feel like I'm at the event. It fascinates me and I can't get away from it. Greetings from Bavaria in Germany.
I'm 62 years old, but these girls and boys give me so much fun in life, and yes I'm addicted to their YT video's.. Whenever I feel down, I start watching Kyoto Tachibana and within minutes I feel OK!! Don't forget they are just high schoolers, and not pro's!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, instant thumbs up from me as I was the one that recommended it and was so happy to see you reacting to it. I remembered you saying you were in Japan, I didn't know you were so close to Kyoto or that you worked in a high school when I recommended it, but even more glad I did now. I love DCI and watch the performances on RUclips a lot, and happened to see this band in the Rose Parade and instantly fell in love with them. Seeing your reactions to DCI videos, I knew you would enjoy this as well. As one of the comments said, I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to see them in person, the amount of energy they give off and those big beautiful smiles they always have would melt even the meanest of people's hearts. When ever you feel down and need a pick-me-up, this band will surely do the trick. There are a bunch of videos on RUclips showing their practices and they do put in a LOT of time practicing like all school clubs in Japan do. Thank you SOOOOO much for doing this, it's now my favorite reaction video that you've done. I look forward to your next video, and I hope you have a wonderful day.
Hey I know I'm late, but you should see their 2018 Rose parade march in Pasadena, California. There are man, many videos and compilations on RUclips of this one event, varying in quality, because this was possibly their most incredible performance. It's a 5.5 mile (8km) long march and these incredible band members knocked it out of the park that year. they attend every 2 - 3 years. They played and danced the entire way with only brief intermissions between songs. "Sing sing sing" is their most famous song, and pretty much their unofficial theme song and dance. There are videos of them performing the same song and dance dating back as far as 2012 on RUclips - and the high school has rotated many, many students since then. Each year you see them perform, there are always new students - but they practice towards perfection. i first saw their 2012 Disneyland performance that year and have been following their performances ever since. Such incredible talent and joy and passion these students have in what they do.
Nice to meet you. Do you know the fan site of Kyoto Tachibana High School brass band? On this site, information is actively exchanged centering on the topic of the Tachibana High School brass band. Please check it out. kyototachibanashsbandunofficialfanblog.wordpress.com/
Please view some of the other Kyoto Tachibana SHS videos, competitions, not just street marching. There are hundreds on the web. There are few boys in the band due to the boys choosing baseball and soccer to play in high school. The band members practice four hours per day and eight hours on Saturday and Sunday besides their full class workload. To me, they are the top high school band in the world.
Been watching Tachibana on RUclips for a few years now. They are awesome. Hands down the most consistently the best marching band in the world!!! And they are only high school kids. Utterly amazing.
Kyoto Tachibana SHS Band is the best band in the world. Although KT is just a student band, they have many fans all over the world. I envy you being so close to KT. The live performance of KT is absolutely shocking. Many KT fans around the world went to Japan to watch their performances.
The 2018 Tournament of Roses Band was based on the 114th, 115, & 116th Terms. Here is a Parade based the 113th, 114th, 115th Terms. Two thirds of which participated in the Tournament of Roses Parade: RUclips video: 長岡京ガラシャ祭パレード2016＜FULL＞ 京都橘高校吹奏楽部 Kyoto Tachibana SHS Band（Nov 13, 2016）
I'm glad it made it here i watched so many different videos of them from rehearsal to sponsors etc etc... they did dancing in the 5.5 mile Rose Bowl parade and Pasadena band fest. i read they were one of the crowd favorite at the rose bowl.
Yes they are the best I have ever seen.... been subscriber to then for 2 yrs now never can get enough of seeing these energetic young talented performers ........
Kyoto Tachibana is definitely one of the worlds' best marching bands. Unfortunately, parades don't lend themselves to capturing the entire performance easily. Maybe you'll get to watch a field show sometime...? I'd recommend part of their 2018 Pasadena competition performance. By the way, it's really rare to find a good cover performance of Star Wars, even by professionals, and they NAILED it at the end.
ruclips.net/video/N5jhbRF2oXI/видео.html Bamd fest. Before and during 2015 Gold winning Nationals performance These are the 2018 seniors in their first year. Find the 1 legged flautist.. Short cut to 29:20 for performance ruclips.net/video/m6b_xF23WMQ/видео.html
I have been following this band since I accidentally found them. I agree watch the 2018 Pasadena field performance. Then watch them during the 2018 Rose bowl parade. They are awesome.
@@Ian-Cognito I've watched a number of them, and one of the things that really truly amazes me is their prescience when it comes to use of space -- for each performance, they know how many members to put into rows -- whether it's a street, or a stadium, they know how to create the best effect. The Rose Bowl parade was on 4-lane California streets, while parades in Japan they've done on one side of a local Japanese street.
Remember the moves, remember the musics, play to tune , play to harmony, be fit, and of course, ... smile.... alll at once !!!! These young adults are amazing and they have the nickname of the Orange Devils....
I read that they practice 40 hours a week. Not only do they march and dance great, you can't even notice that in their playing, their long hours of dedication on the practice field sure pays off. I love this band so much and i'm from USA, I just can't get enough of these your musicians. God Bless The Kyoto Tachibana High School Band.
I have been following them for a few years. I was in marching band a million years ago while I was in High School. I cannot imagine doing all of the dancing and playing at the same time. They are all outstanding musicians, good dancers and cute as a bug's ear (not quite as cute as Courtney though) I cannot imagine only being an hour away from them in Japan.
Yeah, here is a short clip of them during the 2018 Rose Parade marching, playing, dancing and they did this for 5 and a half miles. ruclips.net/video/7B0A_gwL6zg/видео.html

I been watching or listening to these kids play almost every day since i saw my first video . Pretty sure they cured my depression.. pretty amazing band.. such happy and positive energy.. yep.. hooked .god bless em all.. 🙏🙏🙏
They ARE an awesome band! I've been watching them for over a year. Playing their instruments while dancing is hard, but they do it with such ease! AND, slapping hands with bystanders is so outgoing. I've never seen this level of excitement from any band. It is plain to see that enjoy what they do.
I suspect they got the idea for slapping hands with bystanders while they were in America. It's not a particularly Japanese thing to do. I was actually really excited to see their Rose Bowl performance because Japanese and Asian audiences usually have a "polite appreciation" reaction while Americans tend towards more effusive outward expression, and I really wanted them to have that experience.
The Orange Devils of Kyoto Tachibana are my favorite marching band. Just think folks, these kids practice EVERY DAY!!!! Plus go to school 6 days a week. This is a club activity after school. Try getting American kids off their duff long enough to do anything. Enjoy folks. They are the best of the best being the best!
Bruh😂 US bands practice less than tachibana and the top BOA bands here are way better bands, they practice way more efficiently than tachibana does. How watch DCI or HS BOA bands and you’ll change your mind
Courtney Coulston you should see some of the other videos of Tachibana high school band.The ones I enjoy are of the percussion section.Although they're working hard they still enjoying themselves.Look out for the girl who bangs the gong during "Sing,sing ,sing" she even has time to have a high five with one of the other hand members! Lots of people have given her the name Penguin Chan!..
Hi, here she is with O-VILS last December. She is a member of the Percussion Corps but look for her to be playing the shorter, red shoulder keyboard. She prefers her nickname which is LiCha/ RaCha/ Raitya. RUclips video: 2022年3月19.20日 『We Are O-VILS. Vol.2』ダイジェスト
Tachibgana is the name of a wild orange tree which is the ancestor of modern mandarin oranges, so the yellow and orange is appropriate, but they also have blue and gold uniforms, a blue and white uniform which is used once a year, and in hot weather they sometimes wear T shirts and warmup pants. They were in Disneyland as part of their 3028 Rose Bowl Trip. THere are lots of videos of them in the ROse Parade. The longest ones take from an hour and 5 minutes to and hour and almost 39 minutes. One of them contains a post parade interview in Japanese with the one legged flutist, who looks like she just came back from a walk around the block. Ialso recommend ruclips.net/video/FFcSbz7iH0M/видео.html It starts out with a street parade of which they do a lot, but then moves to the finals of the 2015 All Japan National Marching Band Competition. The one legged flautist is in this as a freshman and was a senior in the 2017-2018 Rose Tournament events. The Sing Sing Sing finale is far more intense than at Disneyland, They won Gold for a nearly perfect performance/ Oh yes, you will see jumping. On the first jumps, the one legged flautist is a kneeler, in the second jump, she is a jumper!
Thank you for your picking up the band which is the most famous in Japan. They are called "Orange Devils" because their performance is the awesome jumping, stepping, turning and playing the instruments at the same time, even though they are so cute.
thanks sharing this video about Kyoto Tachibana high school green band! I recommend to watch their perform when you are down. cause they always make you smile.
The great thing about them is It is a high school student who is improving every year. Japanese high school students in 3 years Even if you can choreograph and perform well, you will have to graduate and re-educate a new first grader, but it is wonderful that the level choreography + performance has improved.
Courtney, the Rose Parade is held every new year day in Pasadena! The Japanese are always invited to send a school band to take part in the Bandfest competition, which on most occasions they win and then they take part in the actual parade of 6 miles mesmerising the crowds with an incredible song book and choreography and after that they will hold a charity concert to raise money for people affected in global disasters. You need to look on the internet for the Japanese High School Band’s, which Tachibana has won on a few occasions and to win that Gold prize is really really hard as the standard from all is extremely high. If you live down the road, you go and visit and witness them rehearsing ( you lucky thing ),as you said they totally dedicated to the band and it’s the senior members who work with the new joiners to put them through and encourage them to meet the standards needed to become a band member ( normally about 150-200 in the band).

The big instruments are Sousaphones, named for John Phillips Sousa (1854-1932), the best-known composer of marching music for brass bands. It was designed to be an easier-to-carry tuba.
@@redhatpat9387 Those Sousaphones are fiberglass and obviously not as heavy as a brass one. There are musicians who claim that they are not as mellow as a brass instrument.
They work very hard to achieve this result but everything gets small when you see their joy in your eyes! I realized they are the best in Japan and they are invited to a lot of shows and as for the world they are considered the best in the category of schools! And despite everything in Japan they help any orchestra you ask fo
you just watched the best band in the world, but what you watched is nothing of what this band Tachibana does, they really do everything that has to do with music and dance, and everything so perfect that other bands can't manage to imitate them just a little, but you should definitely recognize the perfect when you stay in Japan, Japan is the country where I think perfection was invented, and then they are great people, kindly respectful and always friendly .. These girls and those few boys go to school 7 days a week, I have been told, they have a very heavy program according to reports that they have to do every day ... You notice that I am a big fan, that happened quite a few years ago, I read and watched everything about Japan, is so beautiful country and culture that I was really in love with Japan, until one day I once Tachibana came by, i was really sold, i didn't know what i saw, while i was a rock music man, but today i look more at tachibana than rock music but dig into the band for 1 hour, you don't know what you see and experience Greetings from Holland (Netherlands)

@@clutchpedalreturnsprg7710 Thank you very much for your information, all information about Tachibana is welcome to me, I will definitely look at this today my thanks are great
Check out also their "sister band:" the Izumo Commercial Business High School Band, directed by the same musical director as KT. And, yeah, they are showing the same traits as Kyoto Tachibana. They performed together once!
Latest news, Tachibana will be in the 2025 Rose Parade. I had heard that the Green Band Association which sponsored Japanese bands in the past had run out of money. Tachibana tried to raise abou 13 million yen through crowd sourcing --- and ended up with 113 million yen.
Watch them in the 2018 Rose Bowl Parade (5 miles) vlogs. They first performed in 1998 at the US Atlanta World Fair, several times since LA and Hawaii. my girls rock! The school was all girls and forced to go co-ed, that's why so few guys. Did you notice that they didn't use music scores. All memory/practice. Kyoto is known for its Geisha performers/hospitality girls.
Hello Courtney ...I am so glad to know that you liked Tachibana HS Band. I also really in these fellows performing. Since I have known them, I listen and watch them every single day. They are absolutely awesome and they make me smile and lots of energy from them. I actually cannot survive without their music and dancing. I love them soo much. Also they performed at Kennedy high school and rose parade was adorable and amazing! Please keep post of Tachibana and looking forward to seeing next video from you!!
I'm not sure about best band in the world, as that would depend on what you value. If it's precision marching or sound quality, there probably is better. However, for pure entertainment, this band is hard to beat. Check out their other videos including those of stage shows and marching contests. They absolutely killed it at the 2018 Rose Parade, no other band got the cheers they did. I've been a Tachibanaholic since watching one of their videos about 18 months ago. Watching them perform live is on my bucket list for sure.
Darrel Natori, Tachibana’s main goal is to entertain people and bring them smiles and happiness. In that department, no band in the world even comes close to them. Of course, Tachibana are still extremely talented musically and they are like pro athletes and dancers. Again, in that department no one even comes close to them. If you weigh on the overall package of a marching band, I can’t even think of any band, and I’ve watched a lot of them, that’s even near Tachibana’s level, let alone besting them.
Hello, how are you? A pleasure. Courtney Roulston. Well I've been following this band for a year and a half. I was very impressed by this band with its very well coordinated dance, its expression, its rehearsal is very strong and it is not easy to enter the group of tachibana. Greeting from Venezuela Latin American.. 4:19 The musical theme is a jazz Sing sing sing in Spanish means Canta, canta , canta.. 👍🙋♂️
Started singing the trumpet and sax parts when they started playing Sing Sing Sing by Benny Goodman (The jazz song that they played and danced to in place). I love that song so much.
You should check out at the last part of the band where the flutists are theres one girl whos doing everything while dancing with one leg only and prosthetics...i love this group
i was a 1st trumpet in my school band program from 64-72 and guest trumpet until 77. this is the best band i have seen. one of the girls that plays flute has a prostetic left leg below the knee. . the rose bowl parade route is 5.5 miles long. some of these 100 pound girls are dancing with some horns weighing 40 pounds or more.. yamaha insturment co supports this band and furnishing the insturments for this band. .
Your basically irrelevant now since HS band has changed so much since then. Horns don’t weigh 40 pounds lmao, sousaphones only weigh about 20-25. Your just being over dramatic to make them seem better than they are
@@TopDrumCorps when i was in marching band bill moffit had just published the patterns in motion half time show construction book my band director and bill were good friends and he got bills prepublished ideas to see if they worked well. my director kpt in contact and told bill if the squad drills worked or not
@@CourtneyCoulston I think this may make you cry, it's their 2012 Benefit Concert for the Earthquake and tsunami victims in Japan, the part that I think will make you cry is the second to last song at 1:00:26 when the kids go into the audience to thank their host families who took care of them while they were in California ruclips.net/video/W5UZpE5xNgY/видео.html

Nice to meet you. Thank you for your attention to the marching band at Kyoto Tachibana High School. I personally think that the Kyoto Tachibana Marching Band is a treasure of Japan. Various videos are posted,so I hope you can fully enjoy their performance. (Thank you for reading the comment.)
How about this next video? Here's a video from Kyoto Tachibana High School of the 2018 Rose Parade, a few days after the Disney Parade.

What they do is already incredible hard to do even without instruments. Let alone with instruments . Without a doubt this band is the best i have seen . They don't win every competition , but who cares . It's all about having fun and entertainment and yes...at the very highest level there is . Greetz from Holland 🇳🇱🙏🎶🎵🎶🎵. By the way...Japan has many incredible bands and they can be truly proud .
I love this band! Watch where the band gets separated into two halves when the back half of the band has to stop for a train at a rail crossing while the front half of the band proceeds moving forward. LOL! It's toward the end of this video. You see a brief glimpse of the band waiting for the train here at timeline 23:28 ruclips.net/video/ZVJ3Ho83Ksg/видео.html
Hi, Courtney. I love to watch you. Please check, this band had a young lady who was born with one leg, and does all. You can find them in the 2018 band
I would definitely recommend watching the field show that they performed while they were there. It is the 2018 Pasadena Rose field show, their performance put everyone else to shame that day. Plus you get to see them honoring a special student in the band that was born with only one leg. She wears a prosthetic leg and this was her last year as she was a senior that year. She had performed with the group her entire high school career. The funny thing is if you don't look carefully you would never know she had a prosthetic leg, she moves and dances so naturally.
Her nickname is KURARA her friends and band members calling each other by their respective nickname... and also the super hyper CHIPPI the girl playing the xylophone..
There are videos of their preparation and practices, they work at every step and turn. I don't know how they can play and dance at the same time. They march in a lot of parades every year. They have marched in two Rose Bowl parades in Pasadena, CA, USA. Since you only live an hour away, you ought to see them in person.
I usually don't like parade performances, because you can't really get a taste of what the band is capable of. I just changed my mind BIG TIME!! That was one of the most impressive shows I have ever seen from a high school band!
Courtney, just by having the title The Kyoto Tachibana High School Marching Band in your video I think this video of yours might go viral. After all, this is how I found you and this video.
They are w/o compare. I watch every new posting. Best marching band in the world. Rose Bowl over the years has had many marching bands. NOTHING ever like Kyoto Tachibana High School Marching Band Great, good, excellent, are not superlative enough to describe them.
Check out their Rose bowl 2018. 1 1/2 marching. They are my favorite. Even have cartoon in Japan. They lost everything in the with the wave wiping out their city and still made it to the Superbowl parade in California.
A bit of a mix up. The 2018 was the second time Tachibana was in the Rose Parade. The first time was in 2012, after the city of Sendai was almost wiped out in the tsunami. Sendai is quite a distance from Kyoto. Tachibana was not directly affected, but the announcer at the 2011 Pasadena Bandfest that had a fire at the school that wiped out part of the music area taking out some instruments music and uniforms.
They came to perform at the rose bowl parade. You should check them out at the rose bowl parade 2018, there a number of you tube vids. Whats so amazing is that they do this while marching also. Just marching and play is hard enough to sound good and smooth.
Marching, I hasten to add, over five and a half miles at the Rose Parade. If you watch the whole parade in 2018 you'll see other bands pretty much wilt into a decline long before the end of the gruelling march. The Tachibana, however, kept tthe spring in their step and the smile on their faces to the very end. It is little wonder that they were by far the crowd favourite for the whole parade that year.
Those band members spend about 38 hours a week training and practicing. No teachers are involved except for administrative, mentoring tasks. Courtney, you would be familiar with the senpai-kohai dynamic among the seniors, juniors and freshmen at high schools in Japan, so that would easily translate to the work ethic of these kids. To find out more, there's a lively discussion at the KT unofficial fan blog, where one of the contributors hosted some of the students from KT back in 2017-2018 for the Rose Parade, and again this year when some of them returned as part of the composite "All Japan" Honor band. Note that one of the students playing the flute, a senior at that time, has a prosthetic leg, but was determined to be part of the band, successfully performed the entire routine, and the 5.5 miles (about 9km) of the RP. Oh yeah, she returned again this year to repeat the whole thing with the composite band.
Perhaps watch their All Japan Marching Competition video such as their journey to winning the national gold in 2015 - ruclips.net/video/AB6-iT3CkrE/видео.html There's a video from 2014, but that was their heartbreaking journey that resulted in a silver medal.
After a couple of weeks, and despite being a fairly new video, your Kyoto Tachibana Senior High School Marching Band video is now officially your highest view marching band video surpassing all the great university bands, DCI bands, and black college bands.....and on it’s way to becoming your number one RUclips video. This is just a testament to the popularity and love of Tachibana worldwide having fans and admirers of every race, nationality, and age. We all love ❤️ Tachibana.
As a dancer, for a 200 member dance team to dance and be all in sync like Tachibana dancing is an exhausting, incredible, and amazing feat in itself. But to do that, and at the same time, also be able to play a musical instrument well and perfectly in tune with each other is beyond amazing. And to be able to do all of that for two and a half hours covering 5.5 miles or nearly 9 kilometers is just unbelievably insane. And not to mention the fact that while doing all of that, Tachibana are still able to smile and and exude joy and happiness to the crowd throughout the trek...it’s hard to believe that they’re even human.
@@woodrowelmore2521 its not that many, about 1/3 of them in Rose Parade were alumnis. If u watch a marching practice they do annually in Japan, there were less than 200 members each year.

Check out their appearance in the 2018 Rose Parade or 2015 National championships or Pasadena Bandfest. Also note the girl on xylophone. She could smile for Japan. BTW one of the girls there has a prosthetic leg. She never missed a step or a note. Your video only popped up because you put Kyoto Tachibana in the title. アイルランド出身です and i am only learning Japanese because I was inspired by this band. Reina and Cony Okomoto in particular. Dedication like we do not even understand in the west. You want cute look at the one they call miss penguin (percussion) but really they are all stars.
I love this band, I watch them almost 3x a day, in diff performance... Talking about cute they are all cute and beautiful. Boys are good looking too, the cute girl nickname penguin with cute smile and photogenic face... she plays acoustic, I wonder why n what is her real name...i have her pictures... i don't know how to share it in comments... she's in college now... hope to see her again with the band...
Ms. Penguin the very cute girl nicknamed Raichaa.. but the two xylophone players are the cutest tandem.💕 every time I see them together it made me smile from ear to ear💕💕
What you possibly do not know is that these students are aged between 15 and 18. They practice every single day of the year, they do not have holidays, they do not have Christmas, New Year off or anything like we would in the UK. It is my understanding that they have to be proficient on 2 instruments, and obviously have the ability to remember all the routines and they must be extremely fit to do all that marching, dance moves and playing their instruments i mean there are videos over 1.75 hours and they do not stop, I agree they are the best marching band in the world at this level.
That's what kills me, too, Philip: they are so young! They choreograph it themselves. No adults are involved! Then watch when one day they play one venue, and the next day it's a different venue. The numbers are the same, but the choreography is different! How do they do it with so little time in-between? They stagger my old brain with their inventiveness and presentations!
@@demef758 I think they are an amazing group of young adults, and they always look the part too, I sometimes wish our youth had their discipline and talent too.
You could not see her, but there was a flute player at the far corner of the band who was doing all of that with a prostheic lower leg.r As sineibe frin the Green Band Association said, lots of luck trying to spot her; whe has worked very hard to blend in.
Thank's to you i discovered this amazing band!! The last 5 days I watch so many videos from the Orange Devils of Kyoto Tachibana!! Is truly something amazing what they can do i'm a Big fan right now!! 😁😆 I really want to thank you!! Also your reaction is great! Greetings from Monterrey, México 😎✌🏻
Even though the band tends to repeat many of the songs from year to year, there is always something new in their routines that catches your eye. I still can't get over the fact that they do their own choreography. You'd think they would have a fulltime teacher for it, but no. They are highly addictive, like heroin for the brain!
I have seen a lot of vídeos of Kioto Tachibana Band, a high school that has this band specialiced in Disneyland themes because they participate every year in the Rose bowl, in Pasadena, California. I enjoy a lot wathing them like you, by the way, you are a beautiful girl.
Sorry, no, they were there in 2012 and surprising back again in 2018 but they have to take it in turn. The Rose Parade Japanese Band band for 2019 and 2020 was a composite band from a region. It is very hard for one school to provide the numbers, they pay for just about everything themselves and in 2018 there were around 200 of them including support staff so it was a very big undertaking. Every 3 or 4 years they do a school visit to a district in Hawaii too.
The corporate overlords at Di$ney-corp required all these students to pay full-fare for the day. No free lunches. A contributor to the fan blog hosted some of the girls then has given a good account of their visit, and the insane amount of training and practicing behind their amazing performances.
You should have watch their complete Rose Bowl Parade performance. I don't know how any of them were left standing afterwards. With their marching and dancing for the 1 hour long parade. I was tired from watching them.
There may have been more than one fan to recommend Kyoto Tachinbana to you -- I know that I did. Whenever I am creatively stuck, I watch one of their many videos. They always make me smile. By the way, those "big things" are called "sousaphones," after the March King John Philip Sousa, who composed the Stars and Stripes Forever. They're essentially tubas designed to be carried. The Tachibana examples are made out of fiberglass instead of brass to save weight.
the big white instrument is the Sousa Phone named after John Philips Sousa an American composer and conductor of the late Romantic era known primarily for American military marches. He is known as "The March King" or the "American March King", to distinguish him from his British counterpart Kenneth J. Alford who is also known as "The March King"
Those Sousaphones are fiberglass - makes them lighter but no easier to play. All the kids in the band audiition. Band is not a required course. The kids have to audition and the audition is run by the students themselves. They practice in the evening after they have done any retired classwork.
The first version of the Sousaphone came out in 1893, it was called 'the rain catcher' because the horn opening was directed straight up. A couple of years later the design was adapted to allow the horn to be angled forward over the player's head. The Sousaphone is a redevelopment of the Tuba with marching and standing band performances in mind. Some bands still use the Tuba, and seeing a HUGE Tuba delicately balanced on the shoulder of a band member as he marches along, for the first time, is shocking. It's still an eye-opener when seeing it for the umpteenth time.
The history of this band is fascinating and inspiring. I´m adding 4 links below that will tell you a lot about this school and the band and how this style of marching started. These videos follow the band and students during the years of 2011 and 2012. Each is about 15 minutes long and start with a bit of history some of which is repeated from 1 video to another but they each give information about the school, when the band was started and when the dance was introduced (by one of the students) into their performance and how hard they work to accomplish something that would seem, by many, to be impossible. This will give you an idea of just how talented these young people are (ages 15 to 17) and how the teachers allow the student´s creativity to improve the band and what the level of desire and willingness to work to learn and achieve their dreams. #1 - @ #2 - @ #3 - @ #4 - @
Would be awesome if this High School Band could preform @ the rearranged OLYMPICS in 2021 as they are known worldwide.... they even put a lot of pro dancers/music bands behind them..... The concert they done in 2012 for the Japan disaster was moving in all ways.... The 700 tickets sold out within minutes, just shows how good they are.................REX (UK)
All of the teaching of the dancing, and choreography, is done by the students themselves. No adults involved other than the music teacher who gathers them in one room for group practice. The rest of the time, the seniors ("3rd graders") do all of the work, making it all happen. Only in Japan!
I discovered Kyoto Tachibana SHS by chance on youtube six months ago. Since then, this music with the fantastic girls has never let me go. I have read everything that I could find on the net so far and I listen to at least three hours of music from KT EVERY DAY. It's like an addiction. Everything fits together in a perfection that I have never seen or heard before. My tip, I do it exactly like this: I sit very close in front of my 55 inch smart TV with headphones on. Connected with a cable, not with bluetooth, because bluetooth always creates a slight delay between the picture and the music. And because of the big picture and the good stereo sound, I feel like I'm at the event. It fascinates me and I can't get away from it. Greetings from Bavaria in Germany.
I'm 62 years old, but these girls and boys give me so much fun in life, and yes I'm addicted to their YT video's.. Whenever I feel down, I start watching Kyoto Tachibana and within minutes I feel OK!! Don't forget they are just high schoolers, and not pro's!!
とちはし oh yes, please do! This band is f*king awesome. They show us so much yoy in what their doing. It's kind of medicine :):).
And they played always without sheet music.
62 years young*
Chris D you are right!! Thank you Chris :):)
Same here, and I live in Japan!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, instant thumbs up from me as I was the one that recommended it and was so happy to see you reacting to it. I remembered you saying you were in Japan, I didn't know you were so close to Kyoto or that you worked in a high school when I recommended it, but even more glad I did now. I love DCI and watch the performances on RUclips a lot, and happened to see this band in the Rose Parade and instantly fell in love with them. Seeing your reactions to DCI videos, I knew you would enjoy this as well. As one of the comments said, I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to see them in person, the amount of energy they give off and those big beautiful smiles they always have would melt even the meanest of people's hearts. When ever you feel down and need a pick-me-up, this band will surely do the trick. There are a bunch of videos on RUclips showing their practices and they do put in a LOT of time practicing like all school clubs in Japan do. Thank you SOOOOO much for doing this, it's now my favorite reaction video that you've done. I look forward to your next video, and I hope you have a wonderful day.
Would you be even more amazed if you knew one of the girls had a prosthetic leg
Just fyi:

Nope. Saw the Rose bowl and the football Feild show.
Hey I know I'm late, but you should see their 2018 Rose parade march in Pasadena, California. There are man, many videos and compilations on RUclips of this one event, varying in quality, because this was possibly their most incredible performance. It's a 5.5 mile (8km) long march and these incredible band members knocked it out of the park that year. they attend every 2 - 3 years. They played and danced the entire way with only brief intermissions between songs. "Sing sing sing" is their most famous song, and pretty much their unofficial theme song and dance. There are videos of them performing the same song and dance dating back as far as 2012 on RUclips - and the high school has rotated many, many students since then. Each year you see them perform, there are always new students - but they practice towards perfection. i first saw their 2012 Disneyland performance that year and have been following their performances ever since. Such incredible talent and joy and passion these students have in what they do.
Nice to meet you.
Do you know the fan site of Kyoto Tachibana High School brass band?
On this site, information is actively exchanged centering on the topic of the Tachibana High School brass band.
Please check it out.
kyototachibanashsbandunofficialfanblog.wordpress.com/
Please view some of the other Kyoto Tachibana SHS videos, competitions, not just street marching. There are hundreds on the web. There are few boys in the band due to the boys choosing baseball and soccer to play in high school. The band members practice four hours per day and eight hours on Saturday and Sunday besides their full class workload. To me, they are the top high school band in the world.
Been watching Tachibana on RUclips for a few years now. They are awesome. Hands down the most consistently the best marching band in the world!!! And they are only high school kids. Utterly amazing.
Kyoto Tachibana SHS Band is the best band in the world. Although KT is just a student band, they have many fans all over the world. I envy you being so close to KT. The live performance of KT is absolutely shocking. Many KT fans around the world went to Japan to watch their performances.
The 2018 Tournament of Roses Band was based on the 114th, 115, & 116th Terms. Here is a Parade based the 113th, 114th, 115th Terms. Two thirds of which participated in the Tournament of Roses Parade: RUclips video:

今年のさくらパレードも見に行きたかったのですが、コロナで中止になり残念です。
早く終息して、また元気なマーチングが1日も早く見れることを願うばかりです。
I'm glad it made it here i watched so many different videos of them from rehearsal to sponsors etc etc... they did dancing in the 5.5 mile Rose Bowl parade and Pasadena band fest. i read they were one of the crowd favorite at the rose bowl.
Yes they are the best I have ever seen.... been subscriber to then for 2 yrs now never can get enough of seeing these energetic young talented performers ........
Kyoto Tachibana is definitely one of the worlds' best marching bands. Unfortunately, parades don't lend themselves to capturing the entire performance easily. Maybe you'll get to watch a field show sometime...? I'd recommend part of their 2018 Pasadena competition performance.
By the way, it's really rare to find a good cover performance of Star Wars, even by professionals, and they NAILED it at the end.

Before and during 2015 Gold winning Nationals performance These are the 2018 seniors in their first year. Find the 1 legged flautist.. Short cut to 29:20 for performance ruclips.net/video/m6b_xF23WMQ/видео.html
I have been following this band since I accidentally found them. I agree watch the 2018 Pasadena field performance. Then watch them during the 2018 Rose bowl parade. They are awesome.
@@Ian-Cognito I've watched a number of them, and one of the things that really truly amazes me is their prescience when it comes to use of space -- for each performance, they know how many members to put into rows -- whether it's a street, or a stadium, they know how to create the best effect. The Rose Bowl parade was on 4-lane California streets, while parades in Japan they've done on one side of a local Japanese street.
One of the best performing band around the globe. Watch all their performances you will like it. My favorite band and love watching them perform.
Remember the moves, remember the musics, play to tune , play to harmony, be fit, and of course, ... smile.... alll at once !!!! These young adults are amazing and they have the nickname of the Orange Devils....
You missed out Giving High Fives at every opportunity !
In Japan they are called "Orange Devil".
I've never been actually interested in marching bands or even wind bands until I knew them.
Same.
Should check out the Ohio State marching band..
This is my favorite High School Band. Every time I hear them play, it's like the first time. I have the same emotional response.💖💖
I read that they practice 40 hours a week. Not only do they march and dance great, you can't even notice that in their playing, their long hours of dedication on the practice field sure pays off. I love this band so much and i'm from USA, I just can't get enough of these your musicians. God Bless The Kyoto Tachibana High School Band.
You know what? You actually CAN notice it in their playing, if you ever hear them playing while stationary -- because they're even *better* then.
I have been following them for a few years. I was in marching band a million years ago while I was in High School. I cannot imagine doing all of the dancing and playing at the same time. They are all outstanding musicians, good dancers and cute as a bug's ear (not quite as cute as Courtney though) I cannot imagine only being an hour away from them in Japan.
The energy level and the physical fitness level of the members of this band is off the charts! They are AWESOME!!!
Yeah, here is a short clip of them during the 2018 Rose Parade marching, playing, dancing and they did this for 5 and a half miles. ruclips.net/video/7B0A_gwL6zg/видео.html

played with a band for 15 years as a tuba player to learn all the music off by heart and dance as well they are out of this world never ever seen a band like it they are the BEST all right.

I been watching or listening to these kids play almost every day since i saw my first video . Pretty sure they cured my depression.. pretty amazing band.. such happy and positive energy.. yep.. hooked .god bless em all.. 🙏🙏🙏
They ARE an awesome band! I've been watching them for over a year. Playing their instruments while dancing is hard, but they do it with such ease! AND, slapping hands with bystanders is so outgoing. I've never seen this level of excitement from any band. It is plain to see that enjoy what they do.
I suspect they got the idea for slapping hands with bystanders while they were in America. It's not a particularly Japanese thing to do. I was actually really excited to see their Rose Bowl performance because Japanese and Asian audiences usually have a "polite appreciation" reaction while Americans tend towards more effusive outward expression, and I really wanted them to have that experience.
The Orange Devils of Kyoto Tachibana are my favorite marching band. Just think folks, these kids practice EVERY DAY!!!! Plus go to school 6 days a week. This is a club activity after school. Try getting American kids off their duff long enough to do anything. Enjoy folks. They are the best of the best being the best!
Bruh😂 US bands practice less than tachibana and the top BOA bands here are way better bands, they practice way more efficiently than tachibana does. How watch DCI or HS BOA bands and you’ll change your mind
Courtney Coulston you should see some of the other videos of Tachibana high school band.The ones I enjoy are of the percussion section.Although they're working hard they still enjoying themselves.Look out for the girl who bangs the gong during "Sing,sing ,sing" she even has time to have a high five with one of the other hand members! Lots of people have given her the name Penguin Chan!..
Hi, here she is with O-VILS last December. She is a member of the Percussion Corps but look for her to be playing the shorter, red shoulder keyboard. She prefers her nickname which is LiCha/ RaCha/ Raitya. RUclips video: 2022年3月19.20日 『We Are O-VILS. Vol.2』ダイジェスト
Tachibgana is the name of a wild orange tree which is the ancestor of modern mandarin oranges, so the yellow and orange is appropriate, but they also have blue and gold uniforms, a blue and white uniform which is used once a year, and in hot weather they sometimes wear T shirts and warmup pants.
They were in Disneyland as part of their 3028 Rose Bowl Trip. THere are lots of videos of them in the ROse Parade. The longest ones take from an hour and 5 minutes to and hour and almost 39 minutes. One of them contains a post parade interview in Japanese with the one legged flutist, who looks like she just came back from a walk around the block.
Ialso recommend ruclips.net/video/FFcSbz7iH0M/видео.html It starts out with a street parade of which they do a lot, but then moves to the finals of the 2015 All Japan National Marching Band Competition. The one legged flautist is in this as a freshman and was a senior in the 2017-2018 Rose Tournament events. The Sing Sing Sing finale is far more intense than at Disneyland, They won Gold for a nearly perfect performance/
Oh yes, you will see jumping. On the first jumps, the one legged flautist is a kneeler, in the second jump, she is a jumper!
Thank you for your picking up the band which is the most famous in Japan.
They are called "Orange Devils" because their performance is the awesome jumping, stepping, turning and playing the instruments at the same time, even though they are so cute.
thanks sharing this video about Kyoto Tachibana high school green band! I recommend to watch their perform when you are down. cause they always make you smile.
The great thing about them is It is a high school student who is improving every year. Japanese high school students in 3 years Even if you can choreograph and perform well, you will have to graduate and re-educate a new first grader, but it is wonderful that the level choreography + performance has improved.
Courtney, the Rose Parade is held every new year day in Pasadena!
The Japanese are always invited to send a school band to take part in the Bandfest competition, which on most occasions they win and then they take part in the actual parade of 6 miles mesmerising the crowds with an incredible song book and choreography and after that they will hold a charity concert to raise money for people affected in global disasters. You need to look on the internet for the Japanese High School Band’s, which Tachibana has won on a few occasions and to win that Gold prize is really really hard as the standard from all is extremely high. If you live down the road, you go and visit and witness them rehearsing ( you lucky thing ),as you said they totally dedicated to the band and it’s the senior members who work with the new joiners to put them through and encourage them to meet the standards needed to become a band member ( normally about 150-200 in the band).

The big instruments are Sousaphones, named for John Phillips Sousa (1854-1932), the best-known composer of marching music for brass bands. It was designed to be an easier-to-carry tuba.
It is also designed such that the sound goes out over the band and is not lost into the air such as happens with a standard tuba.
@@redhatpat9387 Those Sousaphones are fiberglass and obviously not as heavy as a brass one. There are musicians who claim that they are not as mellow as a brass instrument.
you should see them walking while playing drumband about one hour....and still smiling and energic!!! thats awesome! insane!!! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!

I realized they are the best in Japan and they are invited to a lot of shows and as for the world they are considered the best in the category of schools! And despite everything in Japan they help any orchestra you ask fo
you just watched the best band in the world, but what you watched is nothing of what this band Tachibana does, they really do everything that has to do with music and dance, and everything so perfect that other bands can't manage to imitate them just a little, but you should definitely recognize the perfect when you stay in Japan, Japan is the country where I think perfection was invented, and then they are great people, kindly respectful and always friendly ..
These girls and those few boys go to school 7 days a week, I have been told, they have a very heavy program according to reports that they have to do every day ...
You notice that I am a big fan, that happened quite a few years ago, I read and watched everything about Japan, is so beautiful country and culture that I was really in love with Japan, until one day I once Tachibana came by, i was really sold, i didn't know what i saw, while i was a rock music man, but today i look more at tachibana than rock music
but dig into the band for 1 hour, you don't know what you see and experience

my thanks are great
Check out also their "sister band:" the Izumo Commercial Business High School Band, directed by the same musical director as KT. And, yeah, they are showing the same traits as Kyoto Tachibana. They performed together once!
Latest news, Tachibana will be in the 2025 Rose Parade. I had heard that the Green Band Association which sponsored Japanese bands in the past had run out of money. Tachibana tried to raise abou 13 million yen through crowd sourcing --- and ended up with 113 million yen.
Yeeeesss it´s Kyoto Tachibana. Watch any field show or when they´re playing in any stadium their signature song Sing sing sing.
Watch them in the 2018 Rose Bowl Parade (5 miles) vlogs. They first performed in 1998 at the US Atlanta World Fair, several times since LA and Hawaii. my girls rock! The school was all girls and forced to go co-ed, that's why so few guys. Did you notice that they didn't use music scores. All memory/practice.
Kyoto is known for its Geisha performers/hospitality girls.
Kyoto is known for being the old Capital of Japan too.

They are absolutely awesome and they make me smile and lots of energy from them. I actually cannot survive without their music and dancing. I love them soo much. Also they performed at Kennedy high school and rose parade was adorable and amazing! Please keep post of Tachibana and looking forward to seeing next video from you!!
I'm not sure about best band in the world, as that would depend on what you value. If it's precision marching or sound quality, there probably is better. However, for pure entertainment, this band is hard to beat. Check out their other videos including those of stage shows and marching contests. They absolutely killed it at the 2018 Rose Parade, no other band got the cheers they did. I've been a Tachibanaholic since watching one of their videos about 18 months ago. Watching them perform live is on my bucket list for sure.
Darrel Natori, Tachibana’s main goal is to entertain people and bring them smiles and happiness. In that department, no band in the world even comes close to them.
Of course, Tachibana are still extremely talented musically and they are like pro athletes and dancers. Again, in that department no one even comes close to them.
If you weigh on the overall package of a marching band, I can’t even think of any band, and I’ve watched a lot of them, that’s even near Tachibana’s level, let alone besting them.
I agree with you 100%. They never fail to bring a smile to my face. I have the Tachibana virus big time!😂🤣😂🤣
Hello, how are you? A pleasure. Courtney Roulston. Well I've been following this band for a year and a half. I was very impressed by this band with its very well coordinated dance, its expression, its rehearsal is very strong and it is not easy to enter the group of tachibana.

4:19 The musical theme is a jazz Sing sing sing in Spanish means Canta, canta , canta.. 👍🙋♂️
Started singing the trumpet and sax parts when they started playing Sing Sing Sing by Benny Goodman (The jazz song that they played and danced to in place). I love that song so much.
Sing Sing Sing was written by Louis Prima in 1935. His band originated it but it was so popular that Benny Goodman started to play it.

Watch where the band gets separated into two halves when the back half of the band has to stop for a train at a rail crossing while the front half of the band proceeds moving forward. LOL! It's toward the end of this video. You see a brief glimpse of the band waiting for the train here at timeline 23:28 ruclips.net/video/ZVJ3Ho83Ksg/видео.html
It happens occasionally, Japanese trains wait for no man . . . or band - that just happens to be marching by.
😂 ... It happened again... They seem to have problem with railroad crossing... 😂

Hi, Courtney. I love to watch you. Please check, this band had a young lady who was born with one leg, and does all. You can find them in the 2018 band
I would definitely recommend watching the field show that they performed while they were there. It is the 2018 Pasadena Rose field show, their performance put everyone else to shame that day. Plus you get to see them honoring a special student in the band that was born with only one leg. She wears a prosthetic leg and this was her last year as she was a senior that year. She had performed with the group her entire high school career. The funny thing is if you don't look carefully you would never know she had a prosthetic leg, she moves and dances so naturally.
The Pasadena Band Fest - 30 December 2017.
She went back in 2020 to play in the Honor Green Band in Pasadena. The little lady is a hero
Her nickname is KURARA her friends and band members calling each other by their respective nickname... and also the super hyper CHIPPI the girl playing the xylophone..
I love them!!! I'm so glad someone is talking about them
There are videos of their preparation and practices, they work at every step and turn. I don't know how they can play and dance at the same time. They march in a lot of parades every year. They have marched in two Rose Bowl parades in Pasadena, CA, USA. Since you only live an hour away, you ought to see them in person.
I usually don't like parade performances, because you can't really get a taste of what the band is capable of. I just changed my mind BIG TIME!! That was one of the most impressive shows I have ever seen from a high school band!
They were adorable! Really picked up my spirits! Thanks!
At a young age, they learned the art of giving peace, dreams, and hope.
I have been in love with Kyoto Tachibana for about ten years.
Simply the best band in the World. Now you have the Tatchibana SHS Bug. It's infectious ❤
The aren’t the best band in the world lmao.
@@TopDrumCorps --you need to listen to yourself.---it's a sad song.
You haven't seen thier best stuff yet! Please react to thier 2018 bandfest performance! They go from very cute to outstanding!
京都橘吹奏楽を紹介してくださってありがとうございます😉昨年生で観る機会がありましたが、SING-SING-SINGはこの動画バージョンでした。皆キラキラした笑顔で、一瞬でその場をハッピーにしてしてしまう橘っ子🎵素晴らしかったです👍💕
Courtney, just by having the title The Kyoto Tachibana High School Marching Band in your video I think this video of yours might go viral. After all, this is how I found you and this video.
They are w/o compare. I watch every new posting.
Best marching band in the world. Rose Bowl over the years has had many marching bands. NOTHING ever like
Kyoto Tachibana High School Marching Band
Great, good, excellent, are not superlative enough to describe them.
Well said!
Check out their Rose bowl 2018. 1 1/2 marching. They are my favorite. Even have cartoon in Japan. They lost everything in the with the wave wiping out their city and still made it to the Superbowl parade in California.
Hibike! Euphonium, where KT was portrayed as the "intimidating" Rikka High School Band, ala "The Blue Devils."
A bit of a mix up. The 2018 was the second time Tachibana was in the Rose Parade. The first time was in 2012, after the city of Sendai was almost wiped out in the tsunami. Sendai is quite a distance from Kyoto. Tachibana was not directly affected, but the announcer at the 2011 Pasadena Bandfest that had a fire at the school that wiped out part of the music area taking out some instruments music and uniforms.
They came to perform at the rose bowl parade. You should check them out at the rose bowl parade 2018, there a number of you tube vids. Whats so amazing is that they do this while marching also. Just marching and play is hard enough to sound good and smooth.
Marching, I hasten to add, over five and a half miles at the Rose Parade. If you watch the whole parade in 2018 you'll see other bands pretty much wilt into a decline long before the end of the gruelling march. The Tachibana, however, kept tthe spring in their step and the smile on their faces to the very end. It is little wonder that they were by far the crowd favourite for the whole parade that year.
Oh yes, and they did a full length Movie on them called "Swing Girls". It was a great movie.
Those band members spend about 38 hours a week training and practicing. No teachers are involved except for administrative, mentoring tasks. Courtney, you would be familiar with the senpai-kohai dynamic among the seniors, juniors and freshmen at high schools in Japan, so that would easily translate to the work ethic of these kids. To find out more, there's a lively discussion at the KT unofficial fan blog, where one of the contributors hosted some of the students from KT back in 2017-2018 for the Rose Parade, and again this year when some of them returned as part of the composite "All Japan" Honor band.
Note that one of the students playing the flute, a senior at that time, has a prosthetic leg, but was determined to be part of the band, successfully performed the entire routine, and the 5.5 miles (about 9km) of the RP. Oh yeah, she returned again this year to repeat the whole thing with the composite band.
If you want to react to another KT video, try their Band Fest performance that same year - ruclips.net/video/_2aPwLWFFl4/видео.html
Perhaps watch their All Japan Marching Competition video such as their journey to winning the national gold in 2015 - ruclips.net/video/AB6-iT3CkrE/видео.html
There's a video from 2014, but that was their heartbreaking journey that resulted in a silver medal.
After a couple of weeks, and despite being a fairly new video, your Kyoto Tachibana Senior High School Marching Band video is now officially your highest view marching band video surpassing all the great university bands, DCI bands, and black college bands.....and on it’s way to becoming your number one RUclips video.
This is just a testament to the popularity and love of Tachibana worldwide having fans and admirers of every race, nationality, and age. We all love ❤️ Tachibana.
Known as the "Orange Devils" their signature song is an old jazz song (4:10) called "Sing Sing Sing".
ANTHEM!! , no signature 😎
these high schoolers all look so happy, i’m so happy they all got this opportunity, you can tell they worked so hard!
As a dancer, for a 200 member dance team to dance and be all in sync like Tachibana dancing is an exhausting, incredible, and amazing feat in itself. But to do that, and at the same time, also be able to play a musical instrument well and perfectly in tune with each other is beyond amazing.
And to be able to do all of that for two and a half hours covering 5.5 miles or nearly 9 kilometers is just unbelievably insane. And not to mention the fact that while doing all of that, Tachibana are still able to smile and and exude joy and happiness to the crowd throughout the trek...it’s hard to believe that they’re even human.
There was over 300 in the band!
@@woodrowelmore2521 its not that many, about 1/3 of them in Rose Parade were alumnis. If u watch a marching practice they do annually in Japan, there were less than 200 members each year.
Hi Neng Mua, Here is a 2016 Parade in their country. The 2018 Tournament of Roses Band was based on the 114th, 115, & 116th Terms. Here is a Parade based the 113th, 114th, 115th Terms. Two thirds of which participated in the Tournament of Roses Parade. Such as the Snare Drummer who was at center in both Parades: RUclips video:

Need to also see the Pasadena Bandfest 2018 which was performed after Disneyland!!!!
Simply admired. Skills, passion, perseverance, ability , intelligence. I do admire You
I'm so happy I discovered them through my quarantine time
Check out their appearance in the 2018 Rose Parade or 2015 National championships or Pasadena Bandfest. Also note the girl on xylophone. She could smile for Japan. BTW one of the girls there has a prosthetic leg. She never missed a step or a note. Your video only popped up because you put Kyoto Tachibana in the title. アイルランド出身です and i am only learning Japanese because I was inspired by this band. Reina and Cony Okomoto in particular. Dedication like we do not even understand in the west. You want cute look at the one they call miss penguin (percussion) but really they are all stars.
I love this band, I watch them almost 3x a day, in diff performance...
Talking about cute they are all cute and beautiful. Boys are good looking too, the cute girl nickname penguin with cute smile and photogenic face... she plays acoustic, I wonder why n what is her real name...i have her pictures... i don't know how to share it in comments... she's in college now... hope to see her again with the band...
Ms. Penguin the very cute girl nicknamed Raichaa.. but the two xylophone players are the cutest tandem.💕 every time I see them together it made me smile from ear to ear💕💕
What you possibly do not know is that these students are aged between 15 and 18. They practice every single day of the year, they do not have holidays, they do not have Christmas, New Year off or anything like we would in the UK. It is my understanding that they have to be proficient on 2 instruments, and obviously have the ability to remember all the routines and they must be extremely fit to do all that marching, dance moves and playing their instruments i mean there are videos over 1.75 hours and they do not stop, I agree they are the best marching band in the world at this level.
That's what kills me, too, Philip: they are so young! They choreograph it themselves. No adults are involved! Then watch when one day they play one venue, and the next day it's a different venue. The numbers are the same, but the choreography is different! How do they do it with so little time in-between? They stagger my old brain with their inventiveness and presentations!
@@demef758 I think they are an amazing group of young adults, and they always look the part too, I sometimes wish our youth had their discipline and talent too.
You could not see her, but there was a flute player at the far corner of the band who was doing all of that with a prostheic lower leg.r As sineibe frin the Green Band Association said, lots of luck trying to spot her; whe has worked very hard to blend in.
Thank's to you i discovered this amazing band!! The last 5 days I watch so many videos from the Orange Devils of Kyoto Tachibana!! Is truly something amazing what they can do i'm a Big fan right now!! 😁😆 I really want to thank you!! Also your reaction is great! Greetings from Monterrey, México 😎✌🏻
Greetings and thank you so much!! I'm glad you enjoy the content and hope everything is going well for you :) :)
@@CourtneyCoulston Thank you so much!! Also for you, I wish you the best! 😁
Even though the band tends to repeat many of the songs from year to year, there is always something new in their routines that catches your eye. I still can't get over the fact that they do their own choreography. You'd think they would have a fulltime teacher for it, but no. They are highly addictive, like heroin for the brain!
I have seen a lot of vídeos of Kioto Tachibana Band, a high school that has this band specialiced in Disneyland themes because they participate every year in the Rose bowl, in Pasadena, California. I enjoy a lot wathing them like you, by the way, you are a beautiful girl.
Sorry, no, they were there in 2012 and surprising back again in 2018 but they have to take it in turn. The Rose Parade Japanese Band band for 2019 and 2020 was a composite band from a region. It is very hard for one school to provide the numbers, they pay for just about everything themselves and in 2018 there were around 200 of them including support staff so it was a very big undertaking. Every 3 or 4 years they do a school visit to a district in Hawaii too.
I hope they had a blast at Disneyland. It is obvious they worked very hard and they deserved a great time!👍❤
The corporate overlords at Di$ney-corp required all these students to pay full-fare for the day. No free lunches. A contributor to the fan blog hosted some of the girls then has given a good account of their visit, and the insane amount of training and practicing behind their amazing performances.
Courtney you will going to addicted, I have follow their performance since 2009 til now. KT band is the best 🍊orange devil.
Checkout Seika Girls HS band and Tamana HS (both all girl hs bands. They are always receiving gold medals in both marching and concert band areas.
You need to watch the wide angle version... It's the drum corps section 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
There is no “drum corps section”
You should have watch their complete Rose Bowl Parade performance. I don't know how any of them were left standing afterwards. With their marching and dancing for the 1 hour long parade. I was tired from watching them.
There may have been more than one fan to recommend Kyoto Tachinbana to you -- I know that I did. Whenever I am creatively stuck, I watch one of their many videos. They always make me smile.
By the way, those "big things" are called "sousaphones," after the March King John Philip Sousa, who composed the Stars and Stripes Forever. They're essentially tubas designed to be carried. The Tachibana examples are made out of fiberglass instead of brass to save weight.

Did you check these out?
「京都橘高校吹奏楽部｣
the big white instrument is the Sousa Phone named after John Philips Sousa an American composer and conductor of the late Romantic era known primarily for American military marches. He is known as "The March King" or the "American March King", to distinguish him from his British counterpart Kenneth J. Alford who is also known as "The March King"
Those Sousaphones are fiberglass - makes them lighter but no easier to play. All the kids in the band audiition. Band is not a required course. The kids have to audition and the audition is run by the students themselves. They practice in the evening after they have done any retired classwork.
The first version of the Sousaphone came out in 1893, it was called 'the rain catcher' because the horn opening was directed straight up. A couple of years later the design was adapted to allow the horn to be angled forward over the player's head.
The Sousaphone is a redevelopment of the Tuba with marching and standing band performances in mind.
Some bands still use the Tuba, and seeing a HUGE Tuba delicately balanced on the shoulder of a band member as he marches along, for the first time, is shocking. It's still an eye-opener when seeing it for the umpteenth time.
every time I watch them they just amaze...
2018 Pasadena band fest Kyoto Tachibana
Research please!!
The history of this band is fascinating and inspiring. I´m adding 4 links below that will tell you a lot about this school and the band and how this style of marching started. These videos follow the band and students during the years of 2011 and 2012. Each is about 15 minutes long and start with a bit of history some of which is repeated from 1 video to another but they each give information about the school, when the band was started and when the dance was introduced (by one of the students) into their performance and how hard they work to accomplish something that would seem, by many, to be impossible.
This will give you an idea of just how talented these young people are (ages 15 to 17) and how the teachers allow the student´s creativity to improve the band and what the level of desire and willingness to work to learn and achieve their dreams.

Absolutely amazing group of musicians. Even more amazing is one of those young ladies (a flutist) is doing all that that dancing on an artificial leg.
At 7:58 mark was that a jazzed up version of the Star Wars theme 🤓😅

You must watch other videos. Kyoto Tachibana SHS Band
Would be awesome if this High School Band could preform @ the rearranged OLYMPICS in 2021 as they are known worldwide.... they even put a lot of pro dancers/music bands behind them.....
The concert they done in 2012 for the Japan disaster was moving in all ways....
The 700 tickets sold out within minutes, just shows how good they are.................REX (UK)
