Synopsis

Now that Kumiko Oumae has enrolled in Kitauji High School, she hopes to forget about her past. Despite her desire for a fresh start, she gets dragged into the school's band club by her new friends—Sapphire Kawashima and Hazuki Katou—and is once again stuck playing the euphonium. As the band currently stands, they won't be able to participate in the local festival, Sunfest, let alone compete at a national level. The band's new advisor, Noboru Taki, gives them a choice: they can relax and have fun, or practice hard and attempt to get into nationals. Not wanting to repeat her mistakes from middle school, Kumiko is doubtful as to whether they should try for nationals. Amidst the chaos, she learns that her old bandmate, Reina Kousaka (who she had a bitter relationship with) has joined Kitauji's band club. Under the pressure of Noboru's strict training, Kumiko and her bandmates must learn to overcome their struggles and find success together. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

They were feeling a lot of tension because of the competition, but they used it as a motivation to aim even higher. The finale was amazing not only because of their performance, but also because you could really see their determination and how all their efforts finally paid off. Their performance was beautiful to listen to.
In this episode, you can see Kumiko Oumae’s struggles as she tries to improve her playing for the upcoming competition. Good thing she has supportive friends and a senior who guides her. Noboru Taki is a really strict teacher.
“Haha! I don’t even know anymore if this is still yuri bait or actually yuri, but I’m seriously getting butterflies from it, hahaha! This episode was really good. I genuinely enjoyed it (setting aside the yuri bait part), especially when the audition started and the results were revealed. It showed a very mature way of accepting defeat.
