National Day Parade 2009

Those who are going for this year's NDP take note:

1. FULL attendance of all training sessions and rehearsals is expected of participants to qualify for both the CCA points and National Event Badge.

2. Participation is for Boys who are in Sec 2 and above who have attained Drill Stage Two Award (Boys should be able to march correctly and in timing). Priority should be given to Sec 3 Boys. The Organisers have reminded us that Non-Singaporean Citizens are not allowed to participate in the parade.

3. In view of the rigorous training and schedule, Boys with any pre-existing medical conditions that would render them unfit to participate fully in the rehearsals and actual parade will NOT be accepted. Boys with back problems should also be advised not to participate.

4. Boys will need to put on spectacles with clear lenses (no coloured or transition lenses), with black frame (no coloured frame is allowed).

5. A selection exercise will be conducted on either 19 March or 20 March, 3 - 5 pm, at BB Campus in BB Day Dress (Full Uniform). All applicants need to make it for one of these 2 sessions to make it into the contingent.

6. Boys should be able to attend all the rehearsals, unless they have examinations during the period, in which case they will be exempted with valid letters from their schools. The rehearsal dates, and the in-house (BB) selection and training dates, will be confirmed later, together with the timing for the rehearsals. Boys are asked to keep all Saturdays from mid April to 9 August free from 9 am to 9 pm. In the event of rain, the next day (a Sunday) may be used as a replacement date, at NDP Parade & Ceremonies Committee’s discretion.

7. BB Officers and Teachers who are not involved in the NDP are not allowed to visit or follow their Boys to any of the NDP dates for security and accountability issues.

These pointers are from HQ, do take note of it. Thanks.

p/s: anybody from platoon 3 willing to join NDP? I still got a space left.
