Regional band "Przyszowianie" named after Edward Bocheński

Currently, the ensemble has about 45 members, including a five-person band, which performs in the traditional line-up - lead violin, second violin, bass, clarinet and trumpet.
Over the years of its activity, the ensemble has had the opportunity to perform at numerous reviews and competitions in Poland and abroad. Since the beginning of 2023, the ensemble has taken the name of the first and over twenty-year-old choreographer of the ensemble, Edward Bocheński.
Institution patronizing the ensemble - Stowarzyszenie Welo Przyszowej śpiewayw leci
Ensemble manager - Jan Lorek
Music director - Andrzej Twaróg
The ensemble will perform in the first traditional category with the program "Jaśka do płoskigło włojska biero!".
The program presents the first conscription to the Podhale Rifles unit organized in 1918 and the accompanying dance at the home of the farmer, who wants to say a proper farewell to his son. The fun is also joined by a neighbor who is at odds with the farmer and his daughter, who Jasiek likes. The dancing and singing end when the conscripts have to set off on their journey so as not to be late for the train. Jasiek gives his blessing, and Marysia, the neighbor's daughter, secretly gives him a white handkerchief, symbolizing her feelings and the promise that she will wait for him.
The program will feature dances such as: the sliding polka, the sztajerek, the fast waltz, the nail polka, the tramelka, and the polka from the leg.
The author of the program is Jan Lorek. The music is arranged by Andrzej Twaróg, and the choreography is arranged by Mariola Lorek.
