The Ministry of Culture had announced that the El
Salvador Band would start the new year with a parade through the Historic
Center of San Salvador. This cultural event took place on January 1st. It began
at 4:00 PM and proceeded from Plaza Salvador del Mundo to Plaza CÃvica Gerardo
Barrios, where the musical group performed an extensive repertoire.The El
Salvador Band was composed of 600 children and young musicians from across the
country, with 300 new members adding to its prominence.
"In October, a new call was made for those who
wished to join the ensemble, resulting in 600 children and young people, making
it the largest musical band in Central America," announced the Ministry of
Culture on social media. It was expected that both the parade and the
civic square were attended by Salvadorans who enjoyed a grand concert featuring
talented musicians showcasing their art. The El Salvador Band made its debut on
September 15th of that year in commemoration of the 202 years since the signing
of the Central American independence act.
On that occasion, the repertoire included pieces such as the first
movement of Ludwig van Beethoven's "Symphony No. 5";
"Thriller" by composer Rod Temperton, popularized by Michael Jackson;
"Arriba mi gente" and "Cumbia folclórica" by Salvadoran
singer Nory Flores; "El carnaval de San Miguel" by Salvadoran
Francisco Palaviccini; "Bajo el almendro" by Santaneco composer David
Granadino; "Fireball" by American singer Pitbull, among others.
Some of those melodies were featured in the band's
New Year parade, an event aimed at starting 2024 in the best way possible.At
the beginning of that year, auditions were held, with around 1,000 applicants
participating. Formal rehearsals had started in mid-May, and since then, they
had covered themes from academic music, Salvadoran popular music, and
international pop music, played with woodwind, brass, and percussion
instruments.
The Ministry of Culture emphasized that the marching band, due to its large format, valued the fact that its members came from all corners of the country, having been trained in the regional and central headquarters of the Youth Choirs and Orchestras System.Due to the parade route, several streets were closed from 5:30 PM, including Rubén DarÃo, 1st South Avenue, and between 4th and 1st South Avenues.
