Not a typical public space by your competition's definition however the band intimates that this is certainly a public occasion.
Rethink your composition - is the foreground road adding anything to the image or is it creating a 'distance'
between subject and viewer. I would suggest that it is the latter. Crop to just below the cadet's feet and observe
how the band members are now much more important in the frame - as they should be.
