| The open-air stage is at one of the most beautiful places in Europe, the Old Town Square in Prague, in the middle of a coloured Easter market with painted Easter eggs, Bohemian glass and bijouterie. During the weekends, inhabitants of Prague and tourists are streaming to this spot to listen to music and dancing groups of different styles from all over Europe. The opening of the Easter Market is a parade of marching bands through the historical Old Town. The parade moves on the historical coronation way of the Bohemian kings through the most beautiful part of Prague. Beside the open-air stage, there are containers for the music instrument boxes and further baggage of the groups. At the stage there is space up to 35 musicians; larger music groups use the stage and some space in the front with a very close contact to the audience. At the stage, there is a drum-set available, what save a lot of time by changing of the music groups avoids transport problems. |

Preparation, execution, local organization, accommodation and meals - everything was 100percent. A fantastic farewell dinner in the monastery cellar - in many years of making music we never experienced such a wanton mood! (Borkener Blasorchester, Germany) One must have experienced that! An event of the special kind! Perfectly organized. There is nothing to complain. The concert venues, the audience, the farewell dinner - simply ingenious! And besides also some time to discover the city. For us it has been worthwhile in any case. Cordial thanks for it!
