At 20h, on Nguyen Hue Walking Street, 126 artists from the People's Public Security Ceremonial Band, under the Mobile Police Command, performed brass music, attracting many residents.

This special program commemorates the 50th anniversary of Saigon - Gia Dinh city being renamed after President Ho Chi Minh (2/7/1976 - 2/7/2026).

The ceremonial band started from the Nguyen Hue - Ton Duc Thang intersection, parading two to three times along Nguyen Hue Walking Street for over 600 m. The formation included three sections: firearms, military band, and flags.

The military band section included a bandmaster and 60 musicians performing many artistic pieces, contributing to building a friendly, approachable image of public security officers with the people.

The military band section marched and performed about 20 famous musical works from Vietnam and around the world.

In front of the President Ho Chi Minh monument and at intersections along the walking street, the band stopped for about 7 minutes to perform music.

Officers played various instruments, including saxophone, trombone, tenor horn, flute, and drums.

Sweat dripped down Captain Le Hong Truong's face as he intently played the saxophone. He stated that officers were proud to bring special programs to the public.

Captain Nguyen Vu Huyen Giang, the only female officer in the military band, performed the flute on Nguyen Hue Walking Street.

The marching brass band program was enhanced by performances from the flag and firearms sections.

After each performance, the officers rested for a few minutes to drink water before continuing.

Along both sides of the street, many residents watched, recording the band's performances with their phones.

Around 21h15, the performance concluded, and many residents gathered around the band members for souvenir photos. Do Thi Tuyet Anh, 26, and her friends took photos with the officers after the performance. "This is the first time I've seen a military band perform outdoors; the pieces were not only good but also very stirring," the student said.

According to the plan, following the program in central TP HCM, the Mobile Police Command will perform brass music in Con Dao Special Zone on the evening of 4/7, continuing the series of cultural activities leading up to the 50th anniversary of the city named after President Ho Chi Minh.
