His Excellency FIRST DEPUTY MAYOR.
PRESIDENT OF THE ORGANISING COMMITTEE OF THE “CITY
OF VALENCIA” CONTEST
Committee of Honour
This
year the “City of Valencia” Musical Bands Contest
is held at the same time as an anniversary that cannot be forgotten
about; the centenary of the Municipal Band of Valencia, the
band that traditionally closes the performances and the contest
and which I would like to take this opportunity to thank for
is constant, active help and to wish the members a centenary
full of happiness, satisfaction and a long road of successes.
Once again the composition of the different sections of the
contest is proof of the wide participation of musical bands
from all over Spain, which just goes to show the prestige of
our contest, not only in the Valencian Community, but also
from other parts thereby meaning that the public that attends
the contest will be able to compare the new trends and different
styles of each of the participants.
The contest is likewise enriched by these new contributions
which shall remain, from this moment on, as part of the musical
heritage that is now being created and of which our musical
library has already seen 20 uninterrupted years of performances
which allow the people who study the bands’ progress
to listen to and study their performances in comparison with
those of previous years.
Finally, and on behalf of all the members of the organising
committee, I would like to welcome the participants of this
new edition and invite the followers of music bands, with such
a deeply rooted tradition in our land, to come with me and
to enjoy the matchless performances that the contest places
within your reach.
