Hibike! Euphonium: Kakedasu Monaka

Ten members of Kitauji's concert band fail the audition for the Kyoto competition and cannot take the stage with the main ensemble. Rather than withdraw, they name themselves Team Monaka and decide to support the selected players however they can.

Carrying equipment and crafting handmade good-luck charms may seem small beside months of musical training, but their quiet effort becomes part of the same bittersweet summer the whole band is sharing.
