What is the symphonic band and musiko bumbong?

A symphonic band is a large ensemble typically made up of woodwinds, brass, and percussion instruments, similar to a concert band, but with a broader range of musical styles and repertoire, including classical, contemporary, and popular music. Musiko Bumbong, on the other hand, is a traditional Filipino group that uses bamboo instruments, particularly a bamboo ensemble called "bumbong," which includes various types of bamboo tubes that produce distinct sounds. Together, these ensembles showcase the diversity of musical expressions in both Western and Filipino cultures.
