Exactly information about starting the music with the firefighters is not discover. The chronicle of brassband tell, musik is made sience end of the year 1800. The former fire department band under the direction of painter master Karl Kraus has stood. Convincing to that in the house of the fire department one is Photograph of the entire resistance from the year 1905, on which in the foreground to the left of to see the 15 man strong band with instruments is. An alliance with the music association occurred in 1908. The music association standing under leadership of the former mayor Stefan Abel was now responsible for the development of the music life.

From the foundation of a marching band near the Voluntary Fire Department it is told in 1928. Initiator was in this case Anton Muelbaier.

The newer history begins with the resuscitation and/or foundation 1949 with help of Adam Muelbaier. Also at that a traditional marching band was from the beginning in the conversation for whose effectiveness a lance is supposed to be broken here once.With the versatility of our Culture activities one would like a marching band by no means do, because he to bring in own charm. So one should be also thankful, that this interesting kind of the music still conscious is to make music.

Adam Muelbaier was founders and stick leaders to 1966, followed him Konrad Muelbaier to 1967 and to 1992 Robert Muelbaier, under whose management one passed to playing polyphonic.

From 1992 Walter Funk had the musical management. To this time one separated from the musical tasks the administrative activity. From 1992 to 1997 Heinz Muelbaier was leader of the marching band. Since 1997 until June 2001 this Monika Schrutek was, that simultaneously has been responsible for the administration, arranged a recorder group has worried and thus reasonable for junior staff.

From July 2001 the tasks of the management of the marching band were distributed again. Since then Walter Funk is again stick leaders of the marching band. The tasks of a stick leader are too versatile, as that an individual one could overcome it. Therefore the tasks were subdivided into: Stick leader, management of the marching band and recreational activities; what functions from experience only then, if everyone takes his tasks seriously and also carries out his tasks.

The changed leisure time behavior with extended consumption offer led, as near many other associations also, for a member loss in the marching band.

Instructor unites even supporting-training in the school of music visited Bad Gandersheim near Hannover and stick leader Walter Funk did already two stick leader training in the fire department school Bruchsal.

The junior staff has his instruction on the Mondays of 16 to 19:30 o'clock in the house of the fire department in beginner and advanced student groups. At the end of 1999 5 pupils were taken over into the marching band.

In an expressedly fast way it goes during the music test the active voices at the Monday evening of 19 until 20.30 o'clock to. The old dispute, whether a marching band is supposed to learn to notes, is for a long time clarified: Difficult pieces that in a concertante way are presented of cours to notes. March music must fit by heart. There is march music during the "wake up-call" in the early morning from 7 o'clock during the May celebration (to be give up because to high expenses), during the inauguration of the Street kermis, at the Summer Day event and Martins Day event as well as at celebration removals.
