Canada: The Divine Land Marching Band Invited to Perform on Local Russian Carousel in Toronto
By Linghui Ye
On June 10th, 2006, the Divine Land Marching Band of Toronto, which is composed of Falun Gong practitioners of Canada, was invited to perform in the Opening Ceremony of the Fifth Russian Carousel. The carousel is a two-day Russian traditional cultural event held at Mel Lastman Square in the North York District, Toronto, Canada this year. Practitioners also introduced Falun Gong to the audience.
This is the first time for the local practitioners to attend this event. The majestic and resonant music was warmly received. Connie, a member of the marching band, said when introducing Falun Gong: "One of the pieces we played is 'Falun Dafa is Good'. I am 66 years old now, and practising Falun Gong is helping me get younger and younger." Some in the audience started to read the introduction material of Falun Gong while waiting for the performance. The Falun Gong booth drew many visitors, as well.
