Ziv: "Since October 7 I find myself humming the songs of the army bands. Something in the Israeliness and difficult state we're in finds comfort in these cultural heritage gems of quintessential Israeli music. From there to the show was a short road."

Anat: "As an army band alumni, I feel a sense of mission and a need to revisit what makes Israel special. Beyond the nostalgia, these songs create longing and yearning for what we love here in our beautiful land."

Tamir: "This show provides comfort and renewed strength in a time when each of us is looking for a way out of the complex reality. The music and connection between the band members gives the audience moments to catch their breath."
