Remarkably, this small school has a music band with 105 schoolchildren! Enrique, the only music teacher, manages this lively bunch. From the age of 8 years, all students play an instrument, ranging from wind instruments such as trumpets, trombones, saxophones, saxhorns, flutes and melodicas to percussion instruments like drums, guiros, congas and xylophones. The musical repertoire including various Latin rhythms is considerable and the whole group in action sounds almost like a very energetic carnival band! Several times a year, the band marches through Bahía as part of a parade to honour life, peace, solidarity and tolerance. Everybody always gives their best and the cheerful music certainly manages to attract much attention across the city to this worthy cause!
