The Marching Band (French language film)

A heartwarming tale of family, music, and second chances.

 

When world-renowned orchestra conductor Daniel Roth is diagnosed with leukemia, his carefully composed life begins to unravel. But an unexpected discovery — that he was adopted — sets him on a new path. In a quiet rural village, he finds his long-lost younger brother… not in a concert hall, but leading a ragtag local marching band on the brink of giving up.

 

Determined to reconnect and leave behind more than just a legacy of music, Daniel takes on one final challenge: helping the band prepare for a high-stakes regional contest that could save them — and perhaps himself.

 

The Marching Band is a moving, uplifting drama about rediscovery, unlikely bonds, and the healing power of music. 

 

Blending humour, heart, and a touch of small-town charm, it’s a celebration of the families we’re born into — and the ones we find along the way.

 

"Emotionally rich and joyfully musical. A quiet triumph of hope and harmony."

 

The Corn Hall Diss is pleased to be working in partnership with Creative Arts East for helping to programme film presentations.

As a charity we rely on donations to help cover the cost of delivering our programme of exhibitions, events, our community activities such as our Dementia Café, Arts Award, Saturday Club, Tots Tuesdays, Start With Art, as well as supporting our core costs. We ask you to support The Corn Hall with a donation, so that we can continue to be a creative community hub for Diss. Whatever the donation, anything from £1 to £10,000, is support that The Corn Hall didn't have until you very kindly gave it to us. We offer you a very warm thank you.
