Midnight at the Mausoleum.

Actually it was 9:00, but that isn't nearly as catchy. We were walking by the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum (which isn't far from our house) with our students after they had made us dinner just as the nightly flag-lowering ceremony took place. Martial music was blaring from the loudspeakers and there were strict rules about where you could and couldn't stand.
