A team participating in the guard change ceremony includes the captain, martial arts officials, and 12 soldiers. In addition, because it is a re-enactment ceremony, there is an additional small orchestra of 7 people accompanying it.
Quan Vo stood in front of a small orchestra and soldiers. All according to the orders of the martial arts officials to perform the rituals. The ceremony starts at 8:30 a.m. every day, starting from Ngo Mon, then the team passes through the Ngu Phung floor
Next, the team went to the back of Thai Hoa Palace, walked in a circle, then returned to Duan Thi Duong and ended here at 9 a.m. The small band used the song Dang Dan Cung (the national anthem of the Nguyen Dynasty) during the changing of guard ceremony.
