Sound! Euphonium: Ensemble Contest Special

Aired: 2023

A theatrical special depicting the Kitauji High School Concert Band, now led by new president Oumae Kumiko, as they finish their cultural festival performance and gear up for the Ensemble Contest. For this competition, which features small groups of three to eight performers, Kumiko holds an intra-club audition. However, the results of the general vote and the club members' vote diverge, and the unexpected selection outcome sends ripples through the band. Kumiko's growth as she wavers between fairness as president and consideration for her friends is portrayed with meticulous care alongside concert scenes of overwhelming realism. The theme song 'Ensemble' is performed by TRUE, musically embodying the work's central themes.
