Sound! Euphonium

After a traumatic competition in middle school, Kumiko enters Kitauji High with an aversion to all things musical. Yet the band room beckons.

Band members choose their instruments. Kumiko tries to avoid getting stuck with the euphonium again, despite a senior student's pressure.

With some students more motivated than others, the band struggles to come together as an ensemble. Instructor Taki issues an ultimatum.

Taki's practice program tests the band members' dedication in the run-up to their first festival. Kumiko tries to reconnect with Reina Kousaka.

The band prepares to march against stiff competition in the Sunrise Festival. New uniforms arrive, and Kumiko suffers from growing pains.

Taki announces auditions, and the band's bass section pitches in to help first-year student Hazuki improve her tuba skills.

Past band drama resurfaces as college-bound seniors juggle rigorous practice with final exams. Aoi makes a difficult choice.

Hazuki wants to ask Shuuichi to the Agata Festival, but Shuuichi wants to ask someone else. Reina takes Kumiko on an exhilarating adventure.

Emotions run high on audition day. Midori feels guilty, and Hazuki resolves to be cheerful — no matter how much it hurts.

Audition results shake the band room. Students spread rumors of favoritism, causing a rift that hits Reina especially hard.
