The music is memorized. The dance steps are memorized. No lines on the court to guide them. Marching backwards while playing. Playing while dancing. It is all so absolutely amazing. I was in a marching band in jr. high and high school and have been a big fan of watching college bands and drum and bugle corps all my life and nothing ... and I mean NOTHING ... can compare to this band. Words cannot begin to express how fantastic they are.

There are actual lines to guide them.

they are definitely amazing but the white lines are clearly being used to guide them and most of the time marching bands use the position of others as a guide. there are also lots of college bands who are much better

I was never especially interested in marching band performances, watched such things only accidentally. But few weeks ago I have discovered my first video of Tachibana and I am now not only a fan of this group, but simply forced to make the following comment: Practically each video, showing the performance of Kyoto Tachibana SHS band should contain at the beginning the following warning: "Be careful. Watching this performance can change your life!! It can happen, that you will be not more able to spend longer time without watching and hearing the performances of this band." And exactly this happened to me and - as I was able to recognize from many other comments - also to many other people. I must watch and hear Tachibana performances from time to time (in reality: quite often). After this happened I was interested to check, if there are other bands offering something comparable. I have watched many performances of other marching bands, that was named as good or even outstanding. My opinion is quite simple: There is nothing comparable in the whole world. Most marching bands are offering nothing special, many can be seen as a joke in comparison with Tachibana. Only some Japanese bands can be treated as slightly comparable. It may be so, that some people like large, precisely marching bands of military style, but their performances are nowhere close to the perfection, music quality, enthusiasm and style of Tachibana kids. I am not a musician, but I like to hear good music since quite a long time and have surely got some feeling for the quality of musical performance. And it was for me a discovery to hear, that Tachibana plays much better, very clean music than any other similar band I was able to find. And this kids are doing this while there are dancing and jumping!! Adding the perfection in movement, beautiful choreography and synchronization, the appearance of young girls and boys, that are apparently doing, what they like to do, is a combination, that I - and apparently many others - simple cannot miss anymore. Other bands can be nice to watch, sometimes even quite nice to hear, but Tachibana makes me simple happy. I have also tried to compare the sound of old big bands, playing such titles, as Sing Sing or other and my opinion is: Tachibana kids can be compared with them easily, are often even better. My deepest respect for Kyoto Tachibana SHS band members and their teachers and leaders. I hope, you will stay so good for ever and be always so enthusiastic doing your hard work.

Same with me brother. They are Talented Beyond words. A lot of HARD work on their part. Somebody get a hold of Carnegie Hall .
As a marching band kid, I can say this is absolutely insane. The energy, the dance, and the endurance is absolutely nuts and I am both scared and intrigued at what their practice schedule is like

The schools website says they literally practice 365 days a year. That dedication is mind blowing.
