The Band was formed in 1976 in the Regional center of Rzeszów. Its members are students from the Classical-Scientific highschool in Rzeszów and the school in Górna. The band is accompanied by a majorette group. Their repertory consists mainly of popular music and marches.
The band performs regionally and nationally and also abroad. They have performed in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Macedonia and the Czech Republic.
The shawms are ancient instruments that date back to the Middle Ages. They are simply made with a group of horns and a mouth piece. The characteristic sound is strong and particular.
The band Szałamaistek and the majorette group “Incanto” represent not only the cultural center of Rzeszów but the whole region of Podkarpackie.
