| Oct. 27 - China's first grand military band festival began on Thursday in Nanchang, capital of east China's Jiangxi Province, capturing attention both at home and abroad.
The event, known as the "China Nanchang Tattoo1 2006", attracted China's four top-level military bands including the Chinese People's Liberation Army Band and two world renowned2 bands from Russia and Britain.
Alexander Mikhaylov, the conductor of the Russian Frontier Guards Band, told Xinhua that his band received an invitation to the festival about a year ago and had prepared well for the event.
"It's our honor to perform at the birthplace of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA). We will present more than 20 songs to our Chinese friends this time," Mikhaylov said.
Sgt. Johnston, from the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards Pipe and Drum Band, said that his band regarded it as an honor to attend the event, and added that it is a fabulous3 opportunity to showcase traditional Scottish kilts and bagpipe4 music for Chinese audiences.
An official with the organizing committee said the three-day festival was held to mark the city's pride in being the PLA birthplace.
A military music parade, public performances, indoor marching performances and a military band artistic5 forum6 will also be held during the festival, said the official.
