After securing a place in the qualifying round of the Kansai regional contest, members of Kitauji High School"s concert band turned their attention to the next scheduled show. They made full use of the summer holiday, enrolling in a training camp led by their conductor Noboru Taki and a group of professional musicians who work as his colleagues. The intensive schedule includes rehearsals, workshops on ensemble technique, and individual lessons that refine each member"s musicianship. During the camp, they also engage in community outreach performances that showcase their progress to local audiences.
Kumiko Oumae and her teammates are still committed to winning gold at the Kansai event, yet complications surface when a former member who had left the ensemble expresses a desire to return, stirring uncomfortable recollections among the second‑year players. Kumiko also discovers an unexpected chapter of her instructor"s history and the reason he is so eager to guide the group toward triumph. Achieving a spot at nationals will demand relentless effort, and each student"s steadfast belief in the band"s purpose will be thoroughly challenged. Their dedication shines brightly.
