The 5th 'Entrà de Bandes', a well-established event within the Popular and Patron Saint Festivals of Sedaví, filled various streets of the municipality with music. Five musical groups participated in this occasion, fostering an afternoon of camaraderie and festive spirit.
The participating bands paraded through the town and made a special visit to the Residencia Nova Edat de Sedaví, where they shared their music with residents before heading to Plaza Jaume I, the final venue for the event.
The first group to enter the square was the Centre Instructiu Musical de Beniparrell, led by José Hernandis Dalmau, performing the pasodoble “Quelo”. This was followed by the Unió Musical de Bugarra, under the direction of Luis Gimeno Pérez, with the pasodoble “Pérez Barceló”. The Societat Musical de Massalfassar, conducted by Juan José Vicente Monzó, played “Amparito Roca”. The Societat Musical La Unió de Tres Forques, led by Vicente Reche Ruiz, entered to the rhythm of “El Tío Ramón”. Lastly, the Agrupació Musical Santa Cecília de Sedaví, directed by Enrique Andreu Muñoz, concluded the procession with “La Entrada”.
The highlight of the day occurred when all the bands gathered in Plaza Jaume I performed the Regional Anthem of the Valencian Community together, a moment marked by its emotional resonance.
The event was attended by the mayor of Sedaví, José Cabanes, accompanied by members of the Municipal Corporation. Also present were the mayoress of Bugarra, María Teresa Cervera, the mayor of Beniparrell, Salvador Masaroca, and council members from both municipalities.
The Sedaví City Council expressed gratitude to all the musical groups for their participation, particularly highlighting the involvement of the Agrupació Musical Santa Cecília de Sedaví in organizing the event. The celebration of this 'Entrà de Bandes' continues to solidify its place year after year, offering an afternoon filled with music and community spirit.
