Thank you for an interesting look behind the scenes and at the audience reactions. May I correct the names of the tunes played in the parade? 9:07 ‘Down by the Riverside’, 14:15 ‘We Are Confidence Man’, 15:45 'Be My Guest', (16:52 'Winter Games', 18:45 'Celebration', 21:30 'September', 25:04 'Sing Sing Sing'), 27:37 'Smoke on the Water’, 29:10 ‘When You Wish Upon A Star’.
@@user-we8df4qi6m It's a good selection of songs with a good balance. ‘When You Wish Upon A Star’ is greatly recorded, but it doesn't need an announcement.
Was nice to see their female coach finally dressed appropriately. Their performance was the best one I’ve seen so far, even the DM was really enjoying it. She has a pretty smile, which was nice to see. Definitely could see that the members and the audience were totally enjoying the performance.
" their female (marching) coach" Nanaho Shima (島奈央) joined in 2020 and in her first 3 years as coach helped KT SHS Band win ALL the three National Gold Award of the All-Japan Marching Contest (AJMC) offered consecutively. (Her predecessor did not helped KT SHS band win any National AJMC national gold in his first 7 years and only 3 National Gold in his nearly 20 years as coach.)
@@set3777 But it is NOT about awards OR statistics. Earlier coaches did a great job---AND they valued the band;s SPIRIT !!!_-----not just winning awards, sometimes from a dug-in establishment that cared only about stupid statistics .
@@wave8359 The feelings of the girls and boys are more important. The 2001 (118th) Drum Major said after getting National Gold Award after KT's 5 years being unsuccessful said "We are the NEW KT band". The "NEW KT Bands" won AJMC gold in 2021, 2022 and 2023 - with help from NEW coach.
Thank you for sharing this excellent video, as it allows us to perceive the enthusiasm of the people. Only that we were left with a little taste. Well, so many people and the band was in one place. I think that most of the attendees were left with a taste of little, even though the band has a wide repertoire of marching that I don't play
Fair comment!---it can't be perfect of course---but as you say, actual MARCHING gives maximum exposure to the maximum number of onlookers . You make a good point !
Sorry, Takao Walker, for any complaints I may have MISTAKENLY sent in !---The complaints would NEVER be about you. They were made concerning the obscenely violent graphics in the idiot cartoons that keep being pushed during your screen times. I will be more careful with my complaints !---all of your stuff is worth watching. Just wish Google would make some real attempt at shoving the idiot violent cartoons OFF our screens forever. Google claim they make an attempt. Lies !
