I.- Batalla del Sucro
II.- Dansa dels Conqueridors
Its musical origins
go back to the late nineteenth century and the founding of two politically
opposed bands, ‘Los Panxitos’ (republican) and ‘Los Jutgitos’ (carlist).
However, rivalry caused both to disappear. Since then various bands appeared,
most notably under the leadership of Dolores Palau and José Sanchis. However,
it was left to a local musician, Manuel Palau Boix, to establish the modern
musical company.
The musical company
was formed in November 1990 and a musical school was established five years
later. From the beginning, the company has been a member of the Valencian
federation of musical companies. The first instrumental group was formed in
1993 and this evolved into the first band the following year – directed, as
today, by its founder, Llorenç Mendoza Ruiz.
In June 1993, the
company and the Valencian federation of musical companies organised an event
celebrating the centenary of the birth of Manuel Palau Boix with the
participation of 12 bands from L'Horta Nord. Since 1993, the band has
participated in the ‘Retrobem la Nostra Música’ musical campaigns sponsored by
the province of Valencia.
The music school
has 14 teachers and around 100 students. Its first president was Josep Marqués
Mora, and the current president is Victor Palanca Palau.
