  1. Fantastic Band No others come close in my opinion. True to the Japanese work ethnic. They must work so hard on their routines and shows in their performances. I watch them over and over again, I never get tired watching them

    Kudos to all the band members and staff for real enjoyable experience.

  2. I think for the list of recent student leaders, years should be marked “2021-2022” instead of just “2021”, because since 2021 senior students attend band activities until March, unlike the past years.
