Aragua marching bands prepare for Guinness World Record attempt
Marching bands from the southeast axis of Aragua state are preparing for an official attempt to establish a Guinness World Record for the largest marching band in the world. The event is scheduled to take place on September 29 in Caracas at Paseo Los Próceres.
During a recent general rehearsal at Agustín Codazzi Park, several groups participated, including the Aurion Marching Band, Funda Gil, Puma de Oro, Manuel Piar, Lazo Martí, and the Jesús de Nazareth Foundation band. Participants received instruction in pre-military drills and martial practice. Randolfo Zapata, president of the state's Autonomous Institute of Marching Bands, noted that more than 18,000 band members from across the country are expected to participate in the record attempt.
