Badajoz publishes the provisional list of candidates for seven musician positions

The Badajoz City Council has approved the provisional list of admitted and excluded applicants in the call to fill seven musician positions for the Municipal Band as permanent contractual staff, through an open competitive examination system. The resolution is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Badajoz number 218, dated November 13, 2026, under announcement reference 4507/2026. Interested parties have ten business days to correct defects or file claims.

The full terms of the call were published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Badajoz number 89, dated May 13, 2026, meaning the process now enters its administrative refinement phase before the final list. The announcement is signed by the Fourth Deputy Mayor, Eladio Buzo Corzo, by delegation of the Mayor according to the Decree of February 2, 2024 (BOP of Badajoz of February 8, 2024).

Six specialties and 146 applications

The call is divided into six instrumental specialties, and the provisional list records a total of 146 applications submitted:

• Saxophone: 48 applicants, of whom 30 are admitted and 18 excluded.
• Trumpet: 31 applicants, with 15 admitted and 16 excluded.
• Clarinet: 27 applicants, with 21 admitted and 6 excluded.
• French Horn: 16 applicants, with 6 admitted and 10 excluded.
• Percussion: 15 applicants, with 8 admitted and 7 excluded.
• Tuba: 9 applicants, with 5 admitted and 4 excluded.

The overall result is 85 admitted applicants and 61 excluded. The resolution clarifies that the number published in the ID column corresponds only to the last four characters of the National Identity Document, foreign identity number, or passport, in accordance with Organic Law 3/2018, of December 5, on the Protection of Personal Data and Guarantee of Digital Rights.

Ten business days to correct

The second section of the resolution grants excluded applicants, as well as those omitted from the list, a period of ten business days to correct defects and submit claims. The count begins the day following the publication in the Official Gazette of the Province.

Within the same period, those who have detected errors in the recording of their personal data may act. The warning is explicit: those who do not correct the defect that led to their exclusion nor submit a claim justifying their right to be included will be definitively excluded from the selection process.

The instrument certificate, the main obstacle

The breakdown of exclusion causes, published alongside the lists, reveals a dominant pattern. Cause number 4—lack of the academic certification accrediting the instrument in which the applicant specializes—is by far the most repeated, appearing alone or combined in the majority of exclusions for trumpet, horn, percussion, and tuba.

The remaining reasons are distributed among:

• Lack of the application form in the official model (cause 1).
• Incorrect accreditation of fee payment (cause 2) or lack of proof (cause 3).
• Lack of a photocopy of the qualification required in the rules (cause 5) or incorrect accreditation of the qualification (cause 6).
• Lack of the required complementary qualification (cause 7).
• Lack of a photocopy of the ID/DNI (cause 8).
• Lack of an updated employment history (cause 9) and a renewed job seeker’s certificate, DARDE (cause 10).
• Failure to accredit large family status (cause 11).

Notably, there is the case of a single applicant who is listed as excluded in two different specialties, saxophone and clarinet, in both cases for failing to provide the official application form.

Impact for applicants

The publication of this provisional list is the first real filter of a process that aims to reinforce the staff of the Banda Municipal de Badajoz with seven permanent labor positions. For the 61 excluded individuals, the margin is short and technical: ten business days to gather academic certificates, fee receipts, or identity documentation that prove their right to be examined. Those who pass this phase will enter the final list of admitted candidates and will compete for the seven positions through an open competitive examination.
