On 8th and 9th of April 2006, the bands play in the "International Marathon of Brass Bands" in one of the most impossing venues in the city: the town square in the centre of Prague; concerts and parades will also take place in the spa city of o Podebrady and in a large hall in Lysa on the banks of the Elbe.
