Hibike! Euphonium: Ensemble Contest-hen

As the summer heats up, so does the competition for the Kitauji High School brass band as they prepare for the ensemble contest, known affectionately as "Ancon." This contest, celebrated for its intimate yet intense musical performances, poses a unique challenge apart from the larger band competitions. Under the leadership of Kumiko, who has recently been appointed as the head of the club, the band faces the task of selecting a representative team from its robust roster of over 50 members. With so many talented musicians, the selection process is fraught with tension and high stakes.

The preliminary rounds at the school level are just the beginning of their journey. Each member's dedication to their craft and to the ensemble's harmony will be tested as they strive to stand out and secure their place in the lineup for the Kyoto prefectural tournament. Kumiko's leadership is put to the test as she navigates the varied problems that arise from managing such a large and diverse group. The days leading up to the competition are filled with struggle, but also with the potential for personal growth and unforgettable performances.
