For the 4 clusters, Senior Lieutenant General Nguyen Van Nghia suggested that the emulation scores for the blocks should be evaluated daily, and that there should be a concentrated practice every 2 days to re-evaluate. The blocks should pay attention to walking straight in horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines; note that movements such as hand-waving, saluting, etc. should be standardized and consistent.

“The spirit of comrades should be shown in the effort to practice, the effort to coordinate, most importantly the coordination within the ranks, reminding each other to walk in a uniform and beautiful manner; paying attention to the spirit of solidarity, competition, and modest learning among the teams. Comrades represent a unit, an individual but attached to the collective, the collective but attached to the individual, we must unite and coordinate well" - Senior Lieutenant General Nguyen Van Nghia clearly stated.

In addition, Deputy Chief of the General Staff Nguyen Van Nghia requested the Army Ceremonial Corps to coordinate with the Propaganda Department (General Department of Politics) to study and develop programs and plans, mobilize more artists and actors from theaters and art troupes of military regions... to supplement the military band's formation and lettering force, ensuring uniqueness and grandeur. If necessary, the number of additional troops can be up to 200 people./.
