Celebrates its anniversary 90 Band of Concerts in Camagüey

The Band of Concerts of Camagüey takes place again today its birthday ninety. For tradition celebrates September 19 because that day of 1919 appeared the records to surrender with the budget for the acquisition of instrumental.

The City council wanted a band that represented it, like happened in other municipalities. The newspaper The Camagüeyan announced the auction to collect funds and the convocation to integrate it. It was time of economic peak and the rich tradition of bands illuminated the Thursday nights and Sundays for the touches of the band of the Second Military Regiment in the Park Agramonte.

Bankrupt intents only collected the later auctions for the wardrobe. Still without regulation the band debuted November 12 in a march in homage to the biggest General Ignacio Agramonte. The musicians happened practically inadvertent because they dressed the uniform of the police and to make matters worse, they paraded behind these.

For second time May 20 , 1920, left the new anniversary of the Republic at times and played the National Hymn in front of the City council. However, didn't go up to the 29 that the mayor in substitution, Andrés Morán Cisneros, signed the records of his official constitution. The Camagüeyan announced the concert of the day 30, so that were not doubts of the inauguration of the band, composed by 35 professors, still dresses with mixture.

After several years of mutual nostalgies, the Band, now denominated Provincial of Concerts, returned to their natural park, that where to The Mayor`s vera, the people of Camagüey enjoys today their Sunday series. (Mabel Echevarría Morán)
