(Part 1) Kyoto Tachibana Band 2017 Shopping Street | First Listen | Reaction 

Alex, the song that started playing at 11:06 is from Brazil... it's called "Festa do Interior" ... The inner party in English, is like a party in the countryside of a small town type of town... and as always great videos...

Great reaction to the awesome Orange Devils!!! At 5:12, it's Disney Medley · Electric Parade · Baroque Hoedown · When Will My Life Begin · You Can Fly · Friend Like Me · That’s How You Know · A Whole New World · Mickey Mouse Club March · It’s A Small World · Once Upon A Dream · Raider’s March · First Time In Forever TACHIBANA TENSION!!! 💛🧡🖤🧡💛

In regard to the girls to guys ratio. An extra curricular program is a requirement in Japan. The girls often will go out for the wind band, while the guys go out for sports like Baseball and Soccer. Not true for all schools, but at Kyoto Tachibana it holds pretty close. Although the school went CO-ED in 2000, KTSHS was once an all girls school, the girls to guys ratio still tilts slightly higher to the girls (58%). Tachibana Tension!!!! 💛🧡🖤🧡💛

People who watch tachibana first time will feel funny for the first 5 seconds. 30 seconds later they are dancing. People stop laughing. 1 minute later they are dancing. 30 minutes later they are still dancing. 1 hour later they are still dancing. Only respect and nothing else.

We love tachibana because they are not perfect. They work so hard but they are still eliminated so many times in the marching contest. But they refuse to change. We see our selves from them.

They have some annual events where they parade each year, but this was a special parade to commemorate the trip they were about to make to the USA (which was the last video of theirs you watched). A medley of Disney movie songs was a feature of their parades (and singing one of them) for some time. The last couple of years they have been adding other songs to the medley. The people you said were getting in the way of the videographer are there purposefully to prevent the audience from crowding the musicians. Kyoto Tachibana was a girls only school 97 years until boys were allowed in 2000. The boys mostly join the sports team clubs instead of the band. That place is not what you would normally think of as a shopping mall. A roof was placed over the street to shelter from bad weather but it is not fully enclosed. It is a place that had some shops so more and more shops opened on the same street to take advantage of the foot traffic and be convenient for shoppers. Some shop owners live above the stores.

How did you miss the flute player at the end on the right? Her name is Hitomi and she marched with a prosthetic leg. She was a big inspiration in the band. Also the girl playing the bells is Chippi. Chippi, along with others from this time period and former students of Kyoto Tachibana are members of a great big band jazz group called the O-vils which you should also check out.

橘吹奏楽は初めは女子高校でした。数年前に男女共学になら男子も加わり吹奏楽の中には、男子も、います。そして、卒業して社会人に成って卒業生達があっまって橘で学んだ事を生かしバンドを結成してます。

I should suggest that you look at the 2018 band fest in Pasadena California of their performance there.

優しい微笑み(◍´꒳`◍)

I challenge anyone to watch this band perform and feel crappy.

見てくれてありがとう！

橘高校は最近共学になりましたが、元は女子校だったのです。男性が少ないのは在校生自体に男子生徒が少ないのもあるかもしれません。

Watch me play in this Did you Know there was .a girl With a prosthetic leg I’m on the right side in the back she’s a rose and two hours and nine kilometers long Many Americans know this I got to respect her.

Hi Alex. You might also like to take a look at some things the band has done recently - a parade: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KFgohMid6kw.html and an outdoor show including a marvellous clarinet solo: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JlS5HHYnU5M.html (It was a very hot day so they wore tee-shirts rather than the yellow tops that are made of a heavy material.)

Domo arigato !

parade playing sucks I do not know how they can dance and play that good still.
