Dear Cadets and Instructors,

64 cadets and 11 Instructors attended the 5th & the last Combined Ceremonial Rehearsal which was concluded earlier today. Contrary to the end of the ULP season, there was a drop in cadet attendance rate which is an issue of concern to the National Day Parade 2006 Red Cross Youth Marching Contingent Committee.

In a lighter note, the scheduled make up practice on 21 June 2006 has been cancelled due to good performance on the Contingents' part.

Consequently, the next rehearsal, the 1st Combined Rehearsal, will be held on 24 June 2006.

The Combined Rehearsals (CRs) will be where all the components of NDP 06 will be intergrated. The Pre-Parade Segments, Commando Free-Fall, Parade, Fly-Past, 21-Gun Salute, Aerial Displays etc. Therefore, the Combined Rehearsals will be lots of fun! The details of the 1st Combined Rehearsal is as follows:

Training Details
Date: 24 June 2006
Reporting Venue: Red Cross House, Haw Par Hall
Reporting Time to HQ: 0915 hours (have your breakfast before coming)
Estimated Dismissal time: 2130 hours latest
Reporting Attire: Full RCY uniform (wear your uniform to HQ)

Personal Logistics
- White gloves (wash your gloves & buy a new pair if yours is spoilt)
- WRCD water bottle

The National Day Parade Red Cross Youth Marching Contingent Committee wants to remind all Cadets that Attendance for Combined Rehearsals is compulsory.

See you next Saturday!

NDP Angels News

Dear Angels,

The ArchAngels wish to bring up a few points worthy of concern to all Angels regarding your Angel career advancements.

1.Angels Absent on 3rd of June 2006
1.1 All Angels absent on the 3rd of June (including those in ULP), The Birth of NDP Angels, are still Angel Privates. To promote to the Angel Lance Corporal rank, please write "A Testimonial on Why You Joined NDP" to your Mortal and hand it up to the ArchAngels on the 17th of June 2006.

1.2 All Angels without Mortals should prepare their "A Testimonial on Why You Joined NDP" beforehand, and be assigned a Mortal on the 17th of June 2006 who your Testimonial will be forwarded to.

2. Promotion to Angel Corporal
2.1 All Angels present on the 3rd of June were already promoted to the Angel Lance Corporal rank, and some of these Angels are only 1 step away to be promoted to the Angel Corporal rank.

2.2 The ArchAngels encourage all Angel Lance Corporals to work hard and the next promotion may be as soon as next week.

3. Angels World Cup Predictions and Angel Journey Recollections
3.1 As part of the Angels' entertainment plan, the ArchAngels have organized a "Guess the 4 World Cup Semi-Finalists" challenge. All Angels are to submit their speculations on which countries will be the top 4 semi-finalists in the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2006 in a form of a letter to the ArchAngels by the 17th of June. There will be prizes to be won!

3.2 In your letter to the ArchAngels, state your name and school, your Mortal's name and school, your guess of the 4 semi-finalist countries and what have you done for your Mortal since the 3rd of June inclusive.

3.3 For the last item on what you did for your Mortal, you may include the number of letters you have written (not including "A Testimonial on Why You Joined NDP"), the number of gifts you gave your Mortal, and the little gestures you did for your Mortals e.g. finishing up your Mortal's leftover lunch, helping your Mortal throw away rubbish etc.

3.4 All Angels are advised to prepare the letter beforehand as there may not be time for you to do so during the 17th June training.

Finally, the ArchAngels encourage all Angels to continue to give lots of love to your Mortals.

The Committee also appeals to all Cadets to remind their fellow Contingent-mates to check the RCYNDP ZeroSiX Blogsite regularly, especially the day before trainings. The Committee thanks all Cadets for their cooperation.

Thank you.
