A high school marching band from China has rocked the stage at the 2025 Drums Corps International World Championships in Indiana, USA – blending cultural pride with global rhythms! 🎶 The event, often called the 'Olympics of marching band competitions,' saw performers from over 30 countries and regions showcase jaw-dropping choreography and precision.
This marks the first time a Chinese mainland school group has competed in the championship’s Open Class division. Beyond the competition, the students explored American music education programs and collaborated with local musicians – turning drumsticks into friendship bridges. 🎵🇺🇸
🏆 While results are still pending, CGTN’s Dan Williams reports the team’s fusion of traditional Chinese instruments with classic marching band flair earned roaring applause. One judge reportedly called their performance 'a cultural handshake in 4/4 time.'
