To celebrate Armed Forces Day coming up on Sept. 3, the military not only set up interactive booths, but also put on several exciting performances, attracting a large audience.

The Marine Corps Honor Guard performed complex rifle drills in complete unison, moving their rifles in time to the music.

While they maintained serious expressions, they made a heart gesture with their hands on just the right beat, showing a hidden playfulness.

Wang Yi-hsin
Marine Corps Honor Guard leader
Pop music is more approachable to everyone, so it will create an upbeat atmosphere. We also enjoy performing it ourselves.

Shih Cheng-wu
Army band leader
Normally, the ceremonial troops are bold and imposing. But today, especially for Armed Forces Day, we added audience interaction so that people can see our soft power and a different side of the military.

The soldiers prepared these performances using their free time outside of training and coursework. They’ve honed their singing and dancing skills, and some can even write music.

Wearing their signature sunglasses and strumming electric guitars, the Air Force Academy’s rock band gave an electrifying performance that featured their own original songs.

Chiu Hsien-chen
Air Force Academy band member
The Air Force Academy has a tradition in which each class writes an original song and performs it. As pilots, we wear flight suits and sunglasses, which makes us unique.

The military showed its artistic side at this carnival to commemorate the upcoming Armed Forces Day. It was a rare opportunity for soldiers to interact with the public, building support for the armed forces.
