Personal highlights
- Guggemusik: brass band playing different drums and pipe instruments
- Guggenkonzert: special event of the Carnival Basel on Tuesday evening
- History: first mentioned in the 16th century to chase away the winter
- Recently: since nearly 100 years, those groups are booming and growing
- Quality: most are not professional musicians but still play fairly well
