5th Combined Rehearsal

Dear Cadets and Instructors,

NE Show was a blast! The National Stadium was filled with a sea of red and screams and laughter of innocent young children, the future of Our Singapore. It was the second show after the 8th of July Family Day, and the National Day Parade 2006 Red Cross Youth Marching Contingent Committee is pleased and proud to announce that the National Day Parade 2006 Red Cross Youth Marching Contingent has maintained the record of ZERO casualties for the show. Well done!

A total of 74 Cadets attended the training, yet another feat!

Come this Saturday, the National Day Parade 2006 Red Cross Youth Marching Contingent will go through its final rehearsal before National Day Parade 2006 Preview! The Preview is one major show where members of public holding preview tickets will gather at the 33-year-old National Stadium for a sneak peek of whats in for NDP 2006.

The training details are as follows:

Training Details
Date: 22 July 2006
Reporting Venue: Red Cross House, Haw Par Hall
Reporting Time to HQ: 0920 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 Committee feels that there is a need to and will hereby make known the critieria used to determine the list of Reserves for the Contingent. The Reserves are chosen on a case-by-case basis and based on a number of factors such as:

- Poor past attendance, mainly AWOL (Absense Without Official Leave)
- Attitude or disciplinary problems
- Casualties with serious cases or conditions
- Having put in little or no effort in activities organized for the Contingent

The Committee will make changes to the list as and when necessary and will review each case after each training. The Committee will not hesitate to remove any Cadet found falling into the above mentioned criteria from the Main Contingent.

The Committee hopes that all Cadets understand that there are 79 Cadets in the RCYNDP ZeroSiX Family but only 64 places in the Main Contingent.

It is cruel but necessary to pull out 15 cadets from the Main Contingent as Reserves.

However, the Committee will put in the utmost effort to ensure that every Cadet in the RCYNDP ZeroSiX Family will have at least a shot at one of the shows.

See you on Saturday and take good care!
