This video is not available.

Get ready to shake, rattle and roll with the Asahikawa Junior Wind Orchestra, an elementary and junior high school ensemble from Japan. Their performance of Fair Shake is conducted by Nobumasa Hashiba, one of three conductors affiliated with the organization. As a group that values musical sharing, their performance also includes senior musicians, as well as supportive band parents.
According to the announcer, “The third song is the relaxed, stylish rock n’ roll Fair Shake. It is a piece that plays a big role with the tambourine as the main character, which is not usually noticeable. The 16-beat rock rhythm vibe steadily “shakes” with an upbeat funky vibe.”
