A large-cast Israeli musical based on the successful film, telling the story of a military band during the golden age of military bands, between the Six-Day War and the Yom Kippur War.

Against the backdrop of the events of the period, we are exposed to the inner life and dynamics among the band members—a group of talented and unruly young men and women who perform for soldiers throughout the country, which had expanded. They look after their personal careers and futures while trying to raise the morale of our soldiers—dancing and singing, and making sure to preserve their humor between the wars.

The musical features songs that have become cultural treasures: “In a Red Dress,” “Tranquility,” “What Shall I Bless You With,” “If Birds,” “A Song for Peace,” and more.
