I can't help you with Fanfare la Sirene, but the band is the Garde
Republicaine Band (Band of the Republican Guard) It's the French national
band and is definitely still in existence. It's a great virtuoso ensemble,
the equivalent of the Marine Band except larger. I have an LP of them, and
I'm pretty sure they have some CDs out. There's a wonderful description of
them in Robert Willaman's book, The Clarinet and Clarinet Playing.Best regards.
