Triuggio Marching Band
HISTORY OF THE BAND
Founded in 2004, Triuggio Marching Band is an Italian group of young people sharing a strong passion for music and the will to entertain its audience both through music and movements.
In fact, not only are the components players, but they are also "dancers", helped by the colourful colour guards with their spinning flags.
TMB's repertoire goes from classical, opera pieces, such as "William Tell" by Rossini or "Nabucco" by Verdi, to contemporary international pop and rock songs, like for example "Smoke on the water" by Deep Purple, "Pretty Fly" by the Offspring and "Call me" by Blondie.
In spite of its young age, TMB has taken part in many national events and competitions, such as the Italian Marching Band Championship, and has also travelled a lot through Europe, performing in France, Germany, Denmark and Czech Republic.
Its last trip, in January, took TMB to London, where the group performed at the famous New Year Parade.
