A happy reunion after 52 years
  
Back in the first half of the 1950’s, Bán Korsos, the director of the village school of Pernau (Pornóapáti), started a music band, thus giving the more musically talented of his pupils an opportunity to show off and expand their musical skills. In no time, the little group of nine pupils made such fine music that its reputation traveled beyond Pernau and performed in neighboring villages and even Szombathely (Steinamanger), where it won first prize in a young musicians’ competition. Fifty-two years went by before the band members saw each other again. It happened last summer, in the Pinka Valley between Vaskeresztes (Großdorf) and Csatár (Schilding).
