I've heard of this high school musical anime (see what I did there U_U) a long time before it came out a month ago since animenewsnetwork.com mentioned Hibike! Euphonium repeatedly while it was still in its development stages. In all honesty, I didn't plan to start watching this anime b/c it looked like the series would be full of moe, and I'm not the biggest fan of that. I gave it a try though just to see what it was like. I was about to drop it- yeah, the amount of moe was too much for me XD But I gave the anime another try- and voila!: Hibike! has now become one of my favorites of this season with the most current episode XD
Synopsis of the anime:
Hibike! Euphonium begins when Kumiko Oumae, a girl who was in the brass band club in junior high school, visits her high school's brass band club as a first year. Kumiko's classmates Hazuki and Sapphire decide to join the club, but Kumiko sees her old classmate Reina there and hesitates. She remembers an incident she had with Reina at a brass band club contest in junior high school.

Apparently, there will be 12 episodes, and right now 5 episodes have aired. Knowing KyoAni, an animation studio known for its beautiful backgrounds as you can see in Clannad or Free! (yes, I'm looking at you girls), this anime exceeded my expectations in this regard. But even the character designs are great.
Main Characters:
EDIT: Who in the world names their daughter Sapphire in Japanese...?
Novel:
The anime is based on a Japanese Novel from 2013. The series is still ongoing, and so far there are three novels. Novel, not lightnovel, just to make this clear ;)
