Madness made in Serbia - Guca Trumpet Festival 2010

Dragacevo`s brass bands festival in Guca is a unique competition of folk brass bands in the world and one of the most important events of the overall national creativity and cultural amateurism in Serbia. Held each year in the first half of August (the first Festival was held in the churchyard of St. Archangel Gabriel`s Church in Guca, on the14th October 1961).

Trumpeters from Serbia compete for the titles of the best orchestras and soloists in three categories: pioneer, youth and senior. Through the qualifying rounds in areas of eastern, western, southern and central Serbia and Vojvodina pass hundreds of bands, and about forty of them have the possibility to participate on final competition of brass bands in Guča.
