On the festival's opening day, a memorial ceremony honoring Admiral Yi Sun-sin, a Ganggangsullae performance by Haenam Usuyeong, and the Admiral Yi Sun-sin Victory Parade were held, with participation from over 1,000 people, including military bands, first-year students from Jinhae High School, and citizen parade groups.

Jang Geumyong, acting mayor of Changwon Special City, said, "I hope the Military Band & Honor Guard Festival, held in conjunction with the Gunhang Festival, became a meaningful gift for the public. We will do our best to ensure that visitors during the remainder of the festival period create lasting memories in Jinhae."
