  • Hey there, thought I would post my photobooth pics from Sakuracon 2016, I think they came out pretty well! Enjoy!

  • The cosplay looks good and the pics did come out nicely! That's not a euphonium, though!! (as a euphonium player for 24 years now, I am required by bandlaw to give you a hard time about this lol, don't take it seriously)

  • Thanks for the comments. Regarding the instrument, it was so bizarre, I specifically asked Kenelley Keys for a Euphonium to rent, but sure enough, one of the first people to take my picture in the hallway brought up that it was some kind of Baritone instead. I guess the clerk at Kenelley Keys screwed up, I just didn't know any better. It still got the job done, looks close enough ;p...(Asuka is displeased with this Euphonium-san imposter!)

  • Musically, baritones and euphoniums will do the same thing, so they're often used interchangeably but they're technically different. Here is what wikipedia says:

    I couldn't use my euphonium for that cosplay and be 100% accurate either, though, since her 4th valve is on the side and not up with the other valves. Those usually have something called a compensating system (though not all of them have them) and are mostly used by pros....so that would be harder to find to rent.
