Venezuela prepares for world record for largest marching band

Musicians from several municipalities in the state of Sucre, Venezuela, gathered on October 8 to conduct a final massive rehearsal for a national event.

The participants from the Cajigal, Libertador, Bermúdez, Sucre, and Bolívar municipalities met at the General José Francisco Bermúdez Airport in Carúpano to practice for a gathering in Caracas. The group is preparing for an official attempt to secure a Guinness World Record for the largest marching band in the world.

Johandry García, the vice president of the Federación de Bandas de Marcha, stated that the event will take place on November 29 at the paseo de Los Próceres in Caracas. The organizers expect around 16,000 young people to participate in the final performance. García noted that managing such a large scale of participants has been difficult, but he expressed confidence that the group will achieve the record.
