遊び心、ヤンチャさがないように感じます。期待に応えようとしなくてもいいから、目一杯楽しんで欲しい。

日本のマーチングコンテストの審査基準にダンスの加点はありません😂 多分どこの国のマーチング競技にもダンス項目はないでしょう😂 しかし、彼女たちは今も日本で圧倒的な人気を誇っており誰もその地位を奪えません😊

After that session they took a short break whilst the stage was prepared for a sit down orchestral performance which, in my opinion, they showed their versatility and did just as well - and then received the ovations. By the way, a few months later I Music Director was "head hunted" and brought in to make them more of a "string orchestra" (not my words, the translation may not be totally accurate), and shortly after that the then existing MD resigned. ( He did not retire, and now works at another school). Developments since then he has shown his very different approach to music, and other things. Although the new MD had some instant success in the National Championships, deservedly so, within a couple of years the marching performances became rather different. It is a matter of taste what one thinks of the differences, but significant differences there are. These chiefly concern the arrangements of the tunes - a lot of toning down. Others have remarked on the recent lack of "spark" - I saw one reply which pointed out that "spark" was not taken into account by the judges in the formal competitions. But that bit of magic - a combination of musical arrangement and dance moves - was what seemed to grab most live audiences. (Again, a matter of taste - no rights or wrongs). I recently saw the O-Vils combine with another Kyoto band, in a stage performance but that band, at one stage, adopted the dance moves of KT, and boy did they look effective. What KT did achieve was a world beating performance by a bunch of Japanese High School Students, who would have thought it! But the arrangements are different now and the moves are rather different - more formal and staged instead of reflecting the mood of the music. But it must have been difficult to keep on producing that level of fitness, devotion, and musical entertainment, and although senior students were usually good teachers, there can be problems there (good coaches are not made immediately), as several videos indicated. (At the same time, some first years who were finding it very, very, difficult, but they persevered and even, after graduating, went with the band to the USA in 2017-18). There are some sit down performances in 2016 which I would say can compare with anything the present MD has produced. (Some may disagree). But in 2016 they were dressed smartly but, oh dear, they were in open necked shirts, now they have "proper "uniforms. For me, the music comes first. Some people praise the KT version of a Glen Miller swing tune in this performance - compare that with another GM tune in their first visit to Taiwan. Where did the "swing" go? But they are still miles ahead of other bands, for the moment, with a few getting closer with stage-type performances. By the way check out a video from 1999, indoors, which has some classical style stuff but ends up with the best version of "Tequila" I have ever heard, or seen. Even before they took up the dancing, they had a distinct "full of life" feel about them (even the Japanese audience responded well - they can be quite reserved). But that was with the teaching and arrangements of the previous MD. And the students themselves - no complaints, but admiration, but they can only play what they are tutored to play.

一部、部員が入れ替わってますが、同感ですね👍

114, 115 y 116 son las últimas generaciones con gracia y estilo, son espectaculares y gracias a ellas Kyoto Tachibana SHS Band tiene la fama de la que hoy goza... 2022 es evidente la falta del Sr. Tanaka...

Sin importar cuántos años pasen y alguien le pregunté a alguna de estas jovencitas: - Tú qué hacías cuando eras joven?... Podrán contestar con toda seguridad: - Yo tocaba y me divertía en la mejor banda del mundo...

And what an honour it would be for those gentlemen 🙏

" Down by the Riverside " too.
