Details were just announced for the Pittsburgh screening of the 2019 movie
Sound! Euphonium: Oath's Finale (劇場版 響け！ユーフォニアム〜誓いのフィナーレ〜) on July 11.
The Anime News Network provides a summary:
In the film's story, Kumiko is now a second year and one of the senior players of the euphonium section. With new underclassmen joining the concert band, Kumiko will have to learn new things in order to deal with awkward and difficult underclassmen. She and third-year trumpeter Tomoe Kabe have been chosen to lead the new underclassmen members. Among the new members to Kumiko's bass section are euphonist Kanade Hisaishi, whose appearances are deceiving; tuba player Mirei Suzuki, who cannot adapt to her new environment; tuba player Satsuki Suzuki, who wants to get along with Mirei; and double bassist Motomu Tsukinaga, who cannot talk about himself. Between the Sunrise Festival, chair placement auditions, and the competition, a number of problems quickly begin to arise.
The first half of the story, in the form of the 2018 film
Liz and the Blue Bird, did not play in Pittsburgh.
The movie will play at the Southside Works Cinema at 7:00 pm on July 11, and
tickets are now available online. Southside Works Cinema is located at 425 Cinema Drive in the Southside, one block from the Hot Metal Bridge (
