This is one of the best new series for the Spring 2015 season. This is basically Kyoto Animation taking their lessons learned from their top tier shows over the past few years (Free's focus on character interactions, Hyouka's gorgeous animation, Chuunibyou's first season sense of fun while showing depth of character) adding in top notch sound engineering (different people playing the same instrument actually sound different in realistic, subtle ways) to create one of their best takes on their own K-On! formula. While people with musical training will probably get the most enjoyment (and nostalgic pain) out of the show it doesn't cram so much terminology down your throat that non-musicians won't be able to sit through it either. | This is one of the best new series for the Spring 2015 season.

The Kitauji high school wind instrument club had at one time participated in national tournaments and was a champion school, but after the club's adviser changed, they have not been able to even participate in the qualifying tournament. Under the strict leadership of Taki, a substitute for Ms. Rikako, they steadily build up their strength. As they fight over who plays solos, some students give priority to studying and quit club activities. Finally, the long wished-for day of the contest arrives.

interesting characters. good dialog. if i was into "school-life" anime, this would make my list.
Doug
I thought I'd like a show about the band, which is all I joined in high school; I did like the characters. But there's almost no story, so I won't be looking for more of this.
Seamus
a show about blowing your own horn
Michael Eh?
the After School "school" series. Being in school band myself, it brings back memories... not necessary good. I pity the professional musicians who have to recreate the sound track of a bad beginner school band. LOL
