The Kyoto Tachibana High School Brass Band isn’t your typical marching band — they’re a full-on musical spectacle. Known for their infectious energy and synchronized dance routines, these students from Japan have mastered the art of blending rhythm and motion into one unforgettable show.
In December 2023, the group wowed audiences at the Kaohsiung Chengyi Hotel in Taiwan, bringing their signature spark to the stage. The band, often dubbed the “Orange Devils” for their bright uniforms and bold performances, is no stranger to the spotlight — they’re regulars at California’s world-famous Rose Parade, where their showmanship steals hearts year after year.
Their secret? Relentless dedication. According to their official website, they juggle hours of daily rehearsals before and after school, training even on weekends and holidays. In fact, they only take three days off per year. It’s that commitment — and their carefully honed training methods — that allows them to flawlessly play and dance at the same time.
Their performance kicks off with Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars’ hit “Uptown Funk,” a song made for moving and grooving. As the familiar beat drops, the musicians tap their legs, twirl, sway, and spin with effortless rhythm — all without missing a note.
Watching them, it’s hard not to smile. Every beat, every step, every gleaming trumpet note radiates pure joy. These young women aren’t just marching — they’re dancing their way into the hearts of audiences around the world.
