Summary: After swearing off music due to an incident at the middle school regional brass band competition, euphonist Oumae Kumiko enters high school hoping for a fresh start. As fate would have it, she ends up being surrounded by people with an interest in the high school brass band. Kumiko finds the motivation she needs to make music once more with the help of her bandmates, some of whom are new like novice tubist Katou Hazuki; veteran contrabassist Kawashima Sapphire; and band vice president and fellow euphonist Tanaka Asuka. Others are old friends, like Kumiko’s childhood friend and hornist-turned-trombonist Tsukamoto Shuuichi, and trumpeter and bandmate from middle school, Kousaka Reina.

However, in the band itself, chaos reigns supreme. Despite their intentions to qualify for the national band competition, the band will struggle to even compete in the local festival —unless the new band advisor Taki Noboru does something about it.

From the studio that animated Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu, Kyoto Animation’s Hibike! Euphonium is a fresh and musical take on the slice-of-life staple that is the high school student’s struggle to deal with their past, find romance, and realize their dreams and aspirations.
