BEIJING, Aug. 23 (Xinhua) — The joint military band that will take part in the upcoming military parade to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression will be the largest of its kind since the founding of the People's Republic of China, a Chinese military official said.
Huang Yanhui, leader of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Joint Military Band, said the band consists of more than 1,000 members, including members of the PLA Honor Guard Military Band and outstanding military musicians from other troops.
According to Huang Yanhui, the formation of the orchestra highlights the theme of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. The 14 rows of the orchestra symbolize the 14 years of war, while the 80 protocol buglers in the front rows symbolize the 80th anniversary of the victory in the war.
During the parade, the orchestra will perform several classical melodies related to military themes, as well as new musical compositions created especially for the parade, Huang Yanhui added.
