In Petropavlovsk, the Exemplary Band of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan held a ceremonial march and concert dedicated to the Day of Kazakhstan Police. The musical program was organized as part of the GuardNext project and attracted numerous residents and visitors of the city.

The event began with a ceremonial parade of military musicians through one of the city’s most recognizable public spaces. The orchestra then presented a concert program featuring military-patriotic compositions and popular songs by Kazakh performers. Through their performance, the musicians created a festive atmosphere while emphasizing the importance of service to the Motherland, national unity, and respect for state values.

The performance generated significant interest among local residents. Passersby stopped to watch, recorded videos on their mobile phones, sang along to familiar melodies, and expressed their appreciation with warm applause.

The venue itself added special significance to the event. The march and concert took place on Constitution of Kazakhstan Street, considered the country's longest pedestrian boulevard and a candidate for inclusion in the Guinness World Records as the longest pedestrian street in the world.

The event clearly demonstrated that the National Guard remains an integral part of society and that military-patriotic culture continues to play an important role in strengthening civic unity.

The GuardNext musical project is implemented by the National Guard on a regular basis and is aimed at promoting military band art, fostering patriotic values among young people, and developing cultural dialogue between service members and civilians.

It is worth noting that the project continues to expand its geography and attract growing audiences across the country. Open-air concerts consistently generate strong public interest, which is why the performance in Petropavlovsk was organized following numerous requests and invitations from local residents.

Today, residents of several other cities across Kazakhstan have also expressed interest in hosting similar concerts in their regions and have invited the participants of the GuardNext project to perform.
