Now for the visit of the aircraft
0:02
carrier USS George Washington which
0:05
continued on Friday evening with a
0:07
public performance by the US Navy's 7th
0:10
Fleet Band at Dragon Bridge. So, what do
0:13
you think?
0:13
>> Well, an exciting night for locals and
0:16
visitors because they were in for an
0:18
outdoor concert brought about by
0:19
sailors/musicians.
0:21
For many of these musicians, it was
0:23
their first visit to Vietnam and the
0:25
first time performing for Vietnamese
0:26
audiences. Our reporter Truong Nam has
0:28
the story.
0:33
>> They are sailors, but tonight they are
0:35
here as musicians.
0:38
Members of the US Navy's 7th Fleet Band
0:41
took to the stage at Dragon Bridge on
0:42
Friday evening entertaining residents
0:45
and visitors with a lively outdoor
0:47
concert.
0:49
The performance formed part of the
0:51
carrier strike group's community
0:53
engagement program during its visit to
0:55
Da Nang.
0:59
>> When it comes down to it, connections
1:00
between governments, between militaries,
1:03
between universities are one thing, but
1:05
it's really the people the people
1:06
connections that bring the US and
1:08
Vietnam closer together. And [music]
1:11
honestly, there's no better way to do it
1:13
than music because no matter what
1:15
language you speak,
1:17
you can speak music.
1:19
>> The concert attracted both local
1:21
residents and international visitors
1:23
offering an unusual evening of live
1:25
music beside one of Da Nang's most
1:28
recognizable landmarks.
1:33
>> Well, they're fantastic. Um, personally,
1:35
uh, they're very skillful on their
1:37
instruments like the trumpet, the
1:39
trombone, the saxophone. So, um, with
1:41
the scene here uh, just next to the
1:44
harbor front with the dragon iconic
1:46
dragon here, it's fantastic. Yeah, I
1:49
like it very much. Yeah.
1:53
>> I found the atmosphere here very lively
1:56
and special. I could see people becoming
1:58
part of the experience, almost like a
2:00
culture exchange between the United
2:02
States and Vietnam. It was more than
2:04
just an ordinary musical performance. It
2:07
gave people in Da Nang, especially
2:08
newcomers like me, an opportunity to
2:11
experience the close friendship between
2:13
the two countries.
2:18
>> For many of the musicians, the evening
2:20
also marked their first performance in
2:23
Vietnam.
2:25
>> I've been playing trumpet since fifth
2:27
grade and to grow up and get good enough
2:30
to where I can get invited to a country
2:32
and play with such a great group for a
2:34
wonderful crowd of people. They're so
2:36
energetic and enthusiastic to hear us
2:38
play. It's awesome. We really feed off
2:41
of the energy of the people listening to
2:42
us and it it warms my soul.
2:46
>> This public performance is not [music]
2:47
the band's last in Da Nang.
2:50
Another concert is scheduled for
2:52
Saturday evening as the Carrier Strike
2:54
Group's visit continues.
2:57
>> The visit began and then support with
2:59
military ceremonies. Now here the Dragon
3:02
Bridge that has taken on a different
3:03
character. Formal ceremonies have now
3:06
given way to music, creating an
3:08
opportunity for people from both
3:10
countries to meet, to interact and to
3:12
learn from one another. Tran Nam,
