Description:

Third in the "Shine" series by Hideyuki Watanabe and the Nakayama-Gogakudai Junior High School Symphonic Band! The Takarazuka City Nakayama-Gogatsudai Junior High School Symphonic Band has always been at the top level in Japan despite the declining number of members due to the declining birthrate. In 2020, a rare year in which a competition will not be held, the Takarazuka City Nakayama-Gogatsudai Junior High School Brass Band is on the verge of losing its goal, but it is still able to perform at the top level. In the rare year of 2020, when no competition was scheduled, the team entered the Japan Wind Music Ensemble Contest and won the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award and the Grand Prix. This long-awaited album is the pinnacle of school bands in both name and reality for the band, which has participated in 15 national contests, and for Mr. Watanabe. It also includes his first commissioned work, "Gladius Cantare (Shuhei Tamura)"! Brain Music
