The Seongnam International Youth Wind Festival in South Korea showcased the group in 2020 and 2021, and they made an appearance at the 2019 K Pop Together Festival, Nguyen said in an email.

Currently there are 53 members, with a majority being Asian, Nguyen said. The wind ensemble is a unique group with meaningful core values.

“Happy Lunar Year! It's the year of the tiger, and we hope you can join us to celebrate! Chúc Mừng Năm Mới!” he said.
