Well for today, the day started as early as 7.30am at Pathways. SMK Taman Desa drill team members had a camp the day before as preparation for the coming inter-school competition this coming week. The morning training lasted till around 10am and off to YMCA for band.

The weather was fine until opening parade at around 2.30pm when the showers began. All officers were present except for Mr. Tan and Mr. Lawrence who were up north in Penang for the Brigade Council Meeting (BCM). Mr. Yong was present for a while and had to leave because his newborn baby girl was sick (please pray for her). Opening parade was extended till around 3.05pm today due to certain habits such as being late/slow, leaving cups behind hoping that it walks to the dustbin and certain amount of lost and found items.

C2, the squad on duty led singspiration. A few announcements were made before we had another singing session. This time it was led by our very own Mr. Joe teaching our finale song for the Golden Jubilee Celebrations ‘I Just Can’t Stop The Music’.

Next was band for the seniors and dancing for the juniors. As for the recruits it was Target Badge class for them. SMK Taman Desa drillers had their run again while Sgt. Hooi led the remaining members during drill. Juniors had a short drill before going off for sports.

At approximately 5.35pm, the company had closing parade. The rain poured again just after 5 minutes the company close. The band council meeting was the last program for the day which started at 7pm.
