The 100-member Live Oaks High School Band played the two countries’ national anthems before launching into a program that included a variety of formations on a dusty field at the No. 20 Middle School in the outskirts of Beijing. “It’s not bad,” said 17-year-old student Song Zhihua. “Do all high schools have this?
