1.
those were organized crowd watching from the street. if u didnt notice in the 1999 parade video, they held big coloured boards/flowers over their head and flip them once in a while.

True , but one also saw groups of individuals/ relatives of participants, I was watching one women who must have been cheering for a relative when the girls in red came on, the camera focused on her than panned to the marching girls, of which on looks , one could have been a relative.

2.
that 1 song is the parade music and it will be used again, yes that's the only one. u can even hear it in cctv videos when they are interviewing in the parade village

OMG :(

3.
olympics had 4 (i think it was 4) different bands from different continents to play different music, it wasn't all bagpipe.

True, but bagpipes man they sound like scalded cats:D Because England is hosting the next games they should have Used Morris Dancers instead. Now thats truly rep. of English culture.:)

4.
i believe you can live-stream the parade from cctv.com
Its the only way Ill be able to see it live, But wont it become overloaded?, resulting in a very slow buffering thus reducing the enjoyment.

they invented TV for a reason.

It wont be shown on our TV stations overhere. Maybe some on the news, not even sure if satellite offers a chinese network , cause i dont have satellite.:(

Besides I was never a fan of tv, thats why ive got a large family. Now theres a thought earler on in one of the threads , members were talking about chinas declining population worry, take away the tv, internet, problem solved. there will be a xtra half billion young chinese in no time.

I am wondering what type of cars they will be using for the review ? Since the 1984 and 1999 parade they were using Hongqi converted limos, but now with so many Chinese brands what will it be ?

Traditional Hongqi

Maybe a new Hongqi ?

Does the new HQ look like Chrysler’s 300?

For those of you that's frustrated thinking there will only be one song played during the parade, fear no more. There will be 44 songs played by the military band and the songs should match the marching troops. For example. an air force song will be played when the air force march, and naval song played when navy march.

And for those that think if you are just a bit further away from Tiananmen you can watch, forget that idea. The entire length of ChangAn street is closed to tourists/parade watchers.

phew!! thats great news even for the most ardent supporter of military parades, listening to the same song played over and over for a couple of hours, must start to grate on ones nerves.
