Back in late August, I thought that I wanted to visit the Spasskaya Tower for a long time, and on September 4 I was in VIP -tribunes on Red Square and screamed from unexpected cannon shots to the beat of the orchestral music.
I remember that as soon as the Spasskaya Tower festival appeared , I thought it was something extremely boring. But the years passed, people admired, and I gradually began to take an interest in this festival.
And now I m sitting on the podium of the fourteenth international military music festival ` `Spasskaya Tower & # 39 ;, I look at the Spasskaya Tower and the Cathedral of St. Basil the Blessed and I smile from the top of my mouth with happiness that has fallen on me.
The view from the VIP stands is good because the orchestras perform on you (and pyrotechnics, and dances, and shows). The view is also amazing. We had row 12 (tickets were presented). Those who sit lower, perhaps have a better view. The view from the VIP stands is good because the orchestras perform on you (and pyrotechnics, and dances, and shows). The view is also amazing.

I didn t know anything about how the festival is going , so I decided that it will be interesting to share what he saw with you.
So, one and a half hours before the main speeches start performances begin at the so-called equestrian arena. As the name suggests, these are performances with horses.
The guys from the Kremlin Riding School show tricks with horses to the accompaniment of the Moscow Cossack Choir. Spectacular.
The performance was lively, musical and extreme. I sincerely advise you to come earlier if such a performance is arranged every year. KShVE and the choir went to the main “ stage & # 39 ;, but with a curtailed program, because there are cobblestones. The performance was lively, musical and extreme.

Then there is a half-hour break and the main one begins presentation … The announced orchestras perform in turn in front of the audience (a booklet is given at the entrance to the podium, like a raincoat). The announcer announces the speakers and voices the artistic lead to the performance.

once there were Till Lindemann and Tamara Gverdtsiteli (separately ).
The presentation went on without interruption for 2 hours and 15 minutes . We ended up with a general exit, the performance of a medley and colorful fireworks , which looked just magical from our seats.
When else would I have seen a fireworks display like this? When else would I have seen a fireworks display like this?
The weather was cold this year, but fortunately it didn t rain. And yet we put on raincoats to keep warm (and also scarves, hats and gloves, I saw someone pry on socks). But no cold has spoiled the impressions of this unique festival.
