It was the first time Senior Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Ha Bac had been the judge of the music festival about soldiers of Khanh Hoa.

He also highly appreciated the artistic quality of the performances performed by amateur actors and dancers.
The music festivals about soldiers have provided an occasion for the localities and units to exchange with each other, helping to tighten the solidarity between soldiers and civilians. The 2021 festival was joined by nine public art teams from the localities, military units, and schools over the province. The performances represented the encouragement towards the soldiers in the localities and units. At the end of the festival, five teams were offered certificates of merit of the provincial People’s Committee.
