The 26th Tenma Music Festival — Hokuryō Junior High School Brass Band Performs!
This year, our Hokuryō Junior High School Brass Band once again performed at the long-standing Tenma Music Festival.
They filled the stage with the rich, resonant sound of Hokuryō, celebrating the spirit of community through music.
The Tenma Music Festival is a community-based music event that transforms the entire Tenma area of Kita Ward, Osaka, into one big stage.
Music flows from 21 venues across the city — including the Kita Ward Civic Center, Ōgimachi Museum Cube, shopping arcades, temples, churches, cafés, live houses, and even boats!
With the theme “Creating Sound, Building Friendships, Enriching the City,” the festival has been a beloved local tradition since its start in 2000.
It continues to thrive thanks to the collaboration of local residents, shopping streets, companies, schools, city officials, and volunteers.
On the day of the festival, around 200 groups of both professional and amateur musicians performed genres ranging from jazz, pop, and rock to gospel and brass band.
With an audience of roughly 30,000 people, it is one of Osaka’s largest community music events.
At one of the venues — our school gymnasium — the first performance of the day was by the Hokuryō Brass Band.
Their performance went beyond music, featuring dance routines and humorous skits between songs, captivating the audience and filling the gym with energy and laughter.
This lively performance surely brought many new fans to the Hokuryō Brass Band.
Well done, “HOKUSUI” — you made us proud!
