For example, a total of 73 people recently traveled almost 500 km south from Taiskirchen to Riva del Garda, a small town on the northern shore of Lake Garda. The annual competition “Flicorno d’Oro” takes place there, in which a total of 26 brass bands from different nations took part this year.
In a short but very intensive rehearsal phase, Kapellmeister Johanna Huber and her musicians apparently perfectly rehearsed the two pieces “A Porta Pia” and “Alpina Saga” by the Upper Austrian composer Thomas Doss. The Innviertler Musikkapelle managed to convince the judges so much with their performance in the Kongresshaus in Riva that they were rewarded with 1st place and thus victory in the 2nd category. Joy and jubilation knew no bounds at the award ceremony, especially since chairman Thomas Gramberger received a valuable instrument as a prize. The fact that MMK Taiskirchen was able to perform without external help (and thanks to generous financial help from the market town of Taiskirchen) underscores the success even further.
