At the beginning of the concert, there is a group of programs with percussion as the core. "Searching for the Last Drop of Water", "Yellow River Boatman's Song", "Chasing the Wind Youth", and "Body Balaba" are expressed through percussion, body shape, singing, dialogue, and other forms of expression. At times, the rhythm is soft, like a spring rain, and at other times, the sound shakes the sky and is majestic. The children are all performing with their hearts, sometimes speaking humorous words and making exaggerated expressions, winning enthusiastic applause from the audience time and time again. Especially in "Body Balaba", children exhibit a strong sense of rhythm without drumbeat accompaniment for a long time. They are like flowing notes, converging into a perfect percussion piece.

The closing performance was a complete success, and conductor Yang Chunlin and all the actors thanked the audience.

Subsequently, adaptations of classic songs such as "Huanqin", "Good Night", "Autumn Water and Long Sky", "Deep Night", "Elephant King's Journey", and "Summer Sunshine" were made one by one, performed by the Beijing Youth Philharmonic Orchestra composed of non professional performers working in various industries. It is understood that the group is a youth social organization incubated by the Beijing Ethnic Orchestra, established with the aim of providing a display platform and realizing stage dreams for non professional Chinese music enthusiasts in various fields. The band regularly holds special concerts and frequently participates in various performance activities
