What is Sound! Euphonium 2 about?

Sound! Euphonium 2 is a TV anime series of 13 episodes animated by Kyoto Animation, adapted from a novel. It aired from October 6, 2016 to December 29, 2016. AniList classifies it as drama, music and slice of life. It continues from Sound! Euphonium, which is worth watching first.

With another tournament fast approaching, Kumiko's band is doubling down on practice and discipline, leaving little time for sleep or other recreational activities. The redoubled practice schedule brings Kumiko and Reina closer together, but elsewhere in the band, it seems like drama threatens to tear the group's unity apart. The ghost of the prior year's mass band exodus still haunts many of Kumiko's classmates, and with former band member Nozomi Kasaki now asking to return, it seems like the grudges of the past will soon be impossible to ignore.
