Germany will also be sending its Air Force Band, as will Holland. Romania will be sending its Regiment Guards Band – which was formed by the Romanian king in 1860; Brazil will be sending its Marines Band – which includes 130 musicians, and Poland will be sending the Navy Orchestra, which has been playing since 1920.
The march's main event will be held in Haifa, as the bands will perform an array of familiar compositions, as well as the Israeli anthem of Hatikva and the IDF March theme.
