Plot

The Kitauji high school concert band club had at one time participated in national tournaments and was a champion school, but after the club's adviser changed, they had not been able to even participate in the qualifying tournament. However, thanks to the newly appointed adviser's strict instruction, the students are steadily improving and build up their strength. As they fight over who plays solos, some students give priority to studying and quit club activities. Finally, the long wished-for day of the competition arrives, and the club wins the qualifying tournament.

Notes

  1. ^ Kitauji (北宇治), is translated as "North Uji" at the English official website. Although the subtitle is sometimes translated as Welcome to Kitauji High School's Musical Instrument Club, suisōgaku (吹奏楽) actually means "concert band (wind ensemble)", not "musical instrument".
  2. ^ The music from the "Gendarmes' Duet" from Offenbach's opera Geneviève de Brabant.
  3. ^ Fictional female composer.
  4. ^ The fourth of five required pieces for real-life All-Japan Band Competition 2015.
  5. ^ In the anime's plot, the piece was credited by Shindo Masakazu.
  6. ^ Due to the plot, the piece name was not disclosed until the end of episode 2.13, so it was uncredited for episodes 2.3 and 2.9.
  7. ^ Fictional male composer.
  8. ^ Music from promotion video for season 1.
