Staying in tune
When the army bands of China and the United States sat shoulder to shoulder at Beijing's National Center of Performing Arts on Monday night, it was a significant moment, not just for the realms of music and entertainment.
It was the first time the two bands have played together on a Chinese stage, and marked another step in improving military ties between Beijing and Washington.
The 76-member US military band will perform two more concerts with its Chinese counterparts in Nanjing and Shanghai during its current visit.
