(Clearwisdom.net) At the invitation of a community group in Bangkok, Thailand, Falun Gong practitioners took part in a celebration performance for a bank's opening ceremony on January 14, 2007. Practitioners in colorful costumes presented a wonderful performance for the local people, and they were warmly received and highly praised.

Waist drum and dragon flag performances

Dance entitled "Winter Plum" symbolizes uncompromising courage amidst harsh circumstances

Starting at around 10:00a.m. on January 14, the stage decorated with colorful silk lotus flowers was ready to welcome local residents in Ratchathanee. Beautiful Dafa music reverberated in the background. Some residents gathered at a big tent in front of the stage, and some moved chairs from inside their houses and placed them outside their doors to get ready for the performance. When gongs and drums started beating, and Falun Gong practitioners came onto the stage while holding long narrow flags, accompanied by rhythmic drumbeats, all attention was focused on them. Many people walked up to have photos taken with the practitioners.

During the 90-minute performance, the Falun Gong practitioners demonstrated the five sets of exercises, presented a dragon flags dance, a waist drum performance, and other programs. After the performance, the sponsor expressed his thanks to the practitioners.
