Woodstock der Blasmusik is a 4-day, open-air festival held annually since 2011 in Ort im Innkreis, Austria, during the last week of June. Wind bands play both traditional and modern music. The festival started with two stages, but now has six stages, each of which features its own genre of music—from what we Americans might call traditional German polka music to rock-and-roll and folk music. In 2023, 5,000 musicians participated in the festival. When this edition of Brass, Reeds, and Percussion was broadcast, the third day of the 2024 festival was underway. So this edition was an ersatz version of the show in which we will air recordings of music that you might hear if you attended the festival.
