The first part consisted of the children of the school, standing alone, in pairs or threes to play each one of them their instrument. Songs like 'Raise the Bridge!', 'New Notes', 'Nit of Pau', or 'Au clair de la Lune' among others which caused the audience to break into applause after each piece. In the second part the members of Unió Musical Els Poblets took the reins with interpretations of 'The Picapiedra', 'Los Siete Magnificos’, and 'King Valley Overture' and 'Nit of Pau', together with the students of the School of Music.

The Town Council sends a letter to the Environment Department requesting the reconstruction as soon as possible of the estuary of River Girona.

It refers back to November 24th, 2008, when one of the affected residents with a house in the estuary zone of the river remitted a letter to the CHJ (Hydrographic Confederation of the Júcar), communicating the lamentable situation which remained after the Flood of October 2007. There have been various communications on the part of the Town Council to the CHJ and Coasts, to gain agreement from the department to adopt the necessary measures to rehabilitate the zone, but to date it continues without there being an agreement between the agencies and the zone continues a threat for its inhabitants.

On January 7th, 2009 the Town Hall transferred to the CHJ a report from the municipal technician, detailing the damages and photos are included. March 3rd, the CHJ inspects the place and assures, literally, that "the natural capacity of drainage is not found altered", and that there is no "obstruction of vegetation", assuring that the alterations have been produced in the terrestrial maritime zone and that the competent agency to solve the problem was the Provincial Service of Coasts. On June 1st the town Council remits another report from the municipal technician and June 4th transfers the answer of the CHJ to Coasts. September 1st this last agency declares that it is not its responsibility and points again to the CHJ as the responsible party.

For all it is clear that there are differences between both agencies. Jaime Ivars, regrets in the text that "two peripheral agencies of the Administration of the State, the CHJ and Coasts, clerks of the same Department "are throwing the ball from one to the other while, in the middle are some residents. The Town Hall, pressured by the anguish of them, “will attend fearlessly to this play between two administrations" and assures that “this situation of administrative inactivity between the two departments is against the principles of organization and operation of the Administration of the State" and "of effective service to the citizens".
