The Banda Escuela Sur del Lago Foundation (FUNDASUR), from the state of Zulia, was crowned champion for the second consecutive time at the Ciudad de la Luna International Martial Band Festival, which was held from 6 to 8 June at the Coliseum of the Moon, in Chía, Colombia.
With a delegation of more than 140 young people, FUNDASUR demonstrated its talent in an impeccable staging during the fourth edition of this event, which brought together more than 2500 artists and 40 bands from delegations from Colombia, Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Venezuela, Ecuador and Costa Rica.
The Venezuelan group, in addition to being accredited with this title, also won first places in the following technical and artistic categories: Best Musical Ensemble, Best Choreography and Best International Band.
This triumph is the result of years of discipline, perseverance and comprehensive training that transcends rehearsal rooms. The impeccable staging and melodic quality exhibited on Colombian soil confirm the high level of the Venezuelan band movement, which had already triumphed in the 2025 edition of the festival, according to a press release from the Ministry of Popular Power for Culture.
