Today's start was normal with the Band practice. We were asked to help one of YMCA's friend Mr Tsui, a music lover. We helped him play and record a marching band song. It was a short, easy, nice and enjoyable song. During the full band, we practice the song and recorded it and it turn out very nice! I was really excited about my first NCO duties as Parade Commander. Kept thinking if there was anything I missed out. There was so much I had to do and such.

Well, the parade started around 2.35pm. After opening parade with Anchor song and opening prayer we all gathered at the hall for A2's leading of the day. They sang a song with the company and played a game with them about passing a ball with their legs as the music goes on. It was kind of enjoying for most of them.

After leading from Squad A2, we had Bible study with Lt. Alan Yong leading. We discussed about why we are here in this Boys' Brigade. Then everyone moved to their own sections of our Golden Jubilee Musical practice after Bible study.

It was until 5.35pm everyone gathered back down at the basketball court for the closing parade. Attendance did change and it became more! haha...Band council was postphoned to next week and there is a performance for School Teachers' Day, lead by Corporal Wong Hoe Kit.
After closing, some Boys' looked for others for dinner, some others went for meetings. SMKTD Exco members were called for a short meeting to discuss a few problems. After that everyone went home.
