Kitauji High School Concert Band is preparing their parts for the ensemble, but some students are fooling around when they should be practicing.

The high school Kitauji fanfare begins its intensive summer camp before the Kansai competition. Kumiko is still trying to find out more about Asuka's refusal to reinstate Nozomi and intends to respect her promise to the girl.
