Rotary Youth Band
Thanks to the initiative of Oscar Zenón Acevedo, a cornerstone in the club's history and growth, the creation of the Youth Band was made possible. Composed of children and teenagers, the ensemble is primarily formed by wind instruments.
This work was continued by member Héctor Miranda and is currently led by members Jorge Carrizo and Leonardo Campillay. This project represents a cultural and educational milestone for the community, providing young people with the opportunity to express themselves through music, developing their artistic sensitivity and sense of belonging.
A highlight of this initiative was the First Band Gathering, held in December 2018. The event featured the prestigious participation of the Argentine Army Band and the Deán Funes School Band, turning into a celebration of musical art and a venue for community exchange.
The Importance of Music in Childhood and Adolescence
Music plays an essential role in the overall development of children and adolescents. Key benefits include:

Cognitive stimulation: Learning to play an instrument enhances memory, attention span, and motor coordination.
-
Fostering discipline and perseverance: Musical practice requires effort, dedication, and teamwork, core values for personal growth.
-
Emotional expression and creativity: Music provides a healthy outlet for expressing emotions and fostering imagination.
-
Social inclusion and community spirit: Participating in a band strengthens bonds among youth and reinforces collective identity and belonging.
-
Prevention of risk behaviors: By offering positive learning and expression spaces, music helps keep young people away from vulnerable situations.
