Preparations Underway for Inauguration｜Taiwan News

Tomorrow is Lai Ching-te’s presidential inauguration, and performers for the event had the good fortune of nice weather Sunday to get out there and rehearse. It was a lively atmosphere as BMX riders, dancers, singers and a marching band all converged on the plaza in front of the Presidential Office building to hone their skills.

BMX freestyle performers practice one last time ahead of Monday’s inauguration, while singers practice a chorus on a nearby stage.

The young BMX riders practice a variety of tricks including 360s and riding backwards. The sense of joy in the air is palpable.

I just practice my skills as usual and try not to make mistakes, that’s all. It’s going quite smoothly, and I have it under control so far.

Vocational high school students who will put on dance performances at the inauguration say they have been practicing daily for the past month. They say they aim to put on their best performance for Lai’s big day.

When the performance is finished, I get a sense of accomplishment, but it has been pretty tiring.

Even though they didn’t carry their drill purpose rifles, the military marching band went ahead with practicing their performance and formation. As the city prepares for tomorrow’s inauguration, barricades are to go up at 10 p.m. on Sunday, and will remain in place until 1 p.m. on Monday. Motorists should be aware of road closures, as the inauguration is set to be a festive event.
