Giuseppe Verdi Marching Band

Giuseppe Verdi Marching Band was founded in 1904 as a traditional band and at the end of the 90s they became a marching band. There are 40 brass– wind players, 12 drum players and 12 color guards in the band.

"We can maintain that the engineering of the HERCULES supports is really excellent: in addition to thoroughly containing the instruments, the supports ensure that these are perfectly stable and well supported. The materials used for their construction are good and the assembly is perfect. We can also state that the ergonomics and design are really good. For a marching band like ours with more than 50 winds, HERCULES is the ideal support."

Giuseppe Verdi Marching Band uses HERCULES trumpet/ cornet stand DS510B, trumpet/ cornet/ flugelhorn stand DS513B; alto/ tenor sax stand DS530B; flute/ clarinet/ piccolo stand DS543B; tuba/ euphonium/ alto horn/ baritone horn stand DS552B; flute/ clarinet stand DS640B; keyboard stands KS120B; and speaker stand SS400B.

In less than 5 years, the Giuseppe Verdi Marching Band has succeeded in making a name for themselves in the national and international area as one of the best marching bands. Their position has been confirmed by the results achieved in some competitions during which they performed from 2003 up 2008. They attended six Italian championships (www.imsb.org), getting the podium both in the parade competition and in the show one.

In 2003, 2004 and 2008, they participated to the world championships (www.wamsb.org) of marching show bands. In 2004 in Bournemouth (UK), they competed with more than 50 groups from the five continents and they got, after an exciting competition, a very prestigious and unexpected access to the final. They classified as the 13th marching band.
