Thanks for sharing this and all your videos! My family has been a host family the last 2 years for the Green Band. We love being able to see the performances again. Such a tear-jerker when they come out into the audience to say goodbye! Tachibana Band are true entertainers!

Thank you for capturing this exceptional performance. I was at this concert. I discovered the Kyoto Tachibana Band watching the Rose Parade and feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to see and hear these wonderful performers in person. They are an inspiration!

[inspegaget]

Are you serious?? This is one the most awesome high school band i ever heard. They killed Disneyland and the Rose parade. This is the comfort zone. Very good. Thanks for sharing.

loved all of it ♥! Kyoto Tachibana was such an eye catcher in the Rose Parade...they were amazing when they did 'sing sing sing'....I wouldn't be able to do that w/ my Trombone x]. omg they are too good..can't stop watching the first 14 minutes. I don't know why i found it so adorable when they did L-O-V-E...amazing solo by the trumpet player :]!
