Mr. Hiramatsu (Founding Director Hisashi Hiramatsu, 1935-2021): Marching in Tokyo is a high-toned military style. Naturally, there’s no smile. They don’t smile. But we are in Kansai. We are a girl-centered band. That’s why we want to march in a cute and merry way. We have been doing with this policy since we established the band in 1961. I have asked the incoming teachers to do so. I have always been thinking that one day, the world of marching should break away from the military style. The “unified beauty” is important, to be sure, but if it is the marching that expresses the “strength” of a nation, organization, thought, and education, I should say it is sad. I have always wished that marching should be the one that would give adults a dream in the youthfulness, and that would comfort you and make your life happy.

Thank you for this tribute to the man who humanised the face of marching. Whilst the Kyoto Tachibana high school students waited for the results of the 2021 All-Japan Marching Contest, their president clutched a photo of Professor Hiramatsu. The gold trophy they won was placed next to his portrait. His spirit lives on, as will be demonstrated at the band’s Regular Concert on 27th & 28th March 2022. The concert will be streamed online with tickets available for overseas viewers. The official international purchase site is here: ticket.pia.jp/piasp/inbound/kyototachibanashsband22-engpls.jsp

Great teacher
京都橘って偏差値的にただ言われた事に盲目的に突っ走るレベルを少し超えてると思う､有名なホラっちゃ先輩の進学先関西学園だし関関同立に特進科じゃなくても進める､そんな子達に青春の全てをかけさせる。これぞ指導者の力。
ここの吹奏楽部青春の全てを突っ込まずについてけねーだろ､高校生にして国を挙げてもトップエンターテイナーここの指導者国の教育を任せられるレベルだと思う。
