The Kyoto Tachibana Senior High School Green Band, marking its third appearance at the Rose Parade, showcases unity and cultural exchange through music and performance.
For many band members, this trip to the U.S. is a first, and they express delight in the friendliness of Americans and the sheer scale of everything they encounter.
The school's band, once entirely female until recent policy changes, represents the best of Japanese high school bands, noted for innovation and excellence.
18-year-old saxophonist Kokoro Kumagai’s observations about American supermarkets and breakfasts underscore the cultural differences that highlight this enriching experience for the students.
