Perhaps it is the enterprising spirit of every conductor, musician, and singer to “go all out in every practice and performance.” Conductor Fan Hongzhong, who has led the Optics Valley Orchestra Youth Symphonic Wind Orchestra, Optics Valley Orchestra Teachers Symphonic Wind Orchestra and other performances on many occasions, said in a hoarse voice that this time they not only polished the previous award-winning works more perfectly, but also made them more perfect in ten days. The new song "Iron-Blooded Heart" was urgently arranged. "The wind music score of this piece has just come out. Teacher Zhou Shan, the conductor of the Guanggu Liuxiao Jinhe Wind Band, and I worked together in the middle of the night to type the music score and draw the layout of the stage instruments. The teachers of the wind band I’m busy rehearsing while I’m busy with finals... It’s very hard, but I’m very happy to be praised by everyone!”
