Yangon brought back its inter-school marching band throwdown after the pandemic basically killed it off for a couple of years. The regional chief minister showed up to hand out some cash for the event and watch 24 schools duke it out over three days at the national indoor arena.
The competition got way more popular since they restarted it back in the 2022-2023 school year, when barely 11 teams bothered showing up. Each squad rolls with 62 members and gets sorted into different tiers based on skill level. Winners get prizes for their hustle and teamwork, plus there's a special award for whoever's got the best mace twirling.
