Kyoto animations have absolutely fumbled this series, there are of course unforseen events and things that have lead to this unsatisfactory conclusion but the mishandling of characters and Events have unfortunately lead them with no other choice than to stray from the satisfying canon. Not giving enough screentime to flesh out characters and relationships, focusing on characters no one cares about and setting us up with mayu who has done nothing all season due to lack of episodes yet we're expected to happily go along with her winning the soli when she isn't even supposed to in the source material? No one cares for the ... second years because the movie gave us no time to care. Season 1 and 2 of hibike euphonium will always have a place in my heart, they're what this series is when done correctly. Each school year should have been 26ish episodes, this series could have flourished and been a perfect adaptation. I'm just so disappointed with the direction kyoani took this and with the soli blunder for literally no reason.

The 1 is for there only being one reason for you to watch this far into hibike euphonium which is the stunning animation. Just know that everything you watch from episode 11 may as well be a Re:zero IF route. Kumiko won.
