Practical event of Ho Chi Minh City children towards the 50th anniversary of Southern Liberation and National Reunification Day (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025).

With the theme “The Country is Full of Joy”, the drum and trumpet art performance is an opportunity for children across the country to express their deep gratitude to the generations of fathers and brothers who heroically sacrificed for the independence and freedom of the country; to better understand the heroic historical journey of the nation, especially the important event of April 30, 1975, the moment when the country was completely liberated and unified. Through this, the generation of Vietnamese children will always nurture a sense of responsibility towards their homeland and country and continue the heroic tradition of the nation.

Each performance was elaborately staged, blending with immortal epics such as Liberation of the South, Marching to Saigon, Victory Day, Reunion Song and As if Uncle Ho were here on the great victory day…; each bustling drum beat, each resounding trumpet sound sounded like notes in a sacred symphony of patriotism. It was the voice of faith, aspiration, a call for solidarity and an inextinguishable flame in the hearts of the young buds of the Fatherland.
