Bio
The Bicycle Showband Crescendo was founded in 1922 as a normal sitting fanfare
just making music. Around 1960 Crescendo changed itself from a sitting fanfare into
a marching showband. An invitation followed for the World Music Contest (WMC) in
Kerkrade, where Crescendo has taken part several times with bands from all over
the world, frequently ending-up with golden places as a result. After a drum band
was added to the fanfare, Crescendo continued as a showband. For a long period
Crescendo enjoyed many successes until in the early seventies the enthusiasm
gradually went down. However, in 1973 two members of the band came up with a
fresh initiative, stepping with their instruments on their bikes and starting the new
Crescendo for what it currently is: a world-famous bicycle showband. Clothed in
red/blue uniforms or Volendam national costumes with wooden shoes, Crescendo
brings the combination of cycling musicians and walking intermezzos offering a full
program of entertainment, all with great success. Not only in the Netherlands
Crescendo gives acte de présence, also in other parts of Europe and far beyond,
Crescendo is frequently invited in countries such as Germany, France, Belgium,
United Kingdom, Japan, China and the United States of America.
