New t-shirt!

Whee! Went out today to source for pple to print our drill t-shirt :D
Quite interesting, meeting the different kinds of business people
I think because of the way we dressed they thought we were college gals :p

Managed to find a really reasonable price for our current design :) :)
But went to this other company, and I was truly impressed by their professionalism
Their range of shirts are quite nice too..
But it'll mean that I'll have to relook the design :p

So... DIs, look out for the new t-shirt! :)
I've been given a end july deadline, so by then, u'll definitely have news abt this elusive t-shirt.. :p
But it'll definitely be something nice! ;)

Lobangs aka Holes

What to do if there are not enough people to form a full contingent? Where should the lobangs (holes) be positioned?

They should always be the rank to the left of the left marker. See illustrations below

x x x 2 x
x x x 1 x
R x x x x

R: right marker
1: if only 1 hole
2: 2nd hole

If there is only one girl short of a full contingent, the hole should be at position 1.
If there are two girls short, the 2nd hole should be at position 2.

What happens if there are 3 girls short? Think abt it.. ;)

A&D

Phew! A&D is finally over!

Really thank God for such great weather on that day! Neither raining nor sunny

Well, though we never got to say it, to each and every girl who was standing on the parade ground:
Thanks for all the effort and time you put in. We're really proud of you all.. to see how you all were standing for such a long time and with a great attitude! *both thumbs up*
You all were great!

And yes, we really arent that scary if you listen carefully and do your drill well ;)

Well, we'll be posting soon abt how to avoid fainting whilst on parade, so do look out for it! :)

Timing for hentak

This is the speedy answering machine at your service.

The question is: What should timing for hentak be?

The answer: 120 paces per minute

It's the same timing as marching. This also means that you would have tapped your left and right foot in 1 sec.

So in terms of timing "left, left, left right", this should all be said in 3 secs.

:)

Thanks for the question!

How to get SHINY boots

Average time: 60 mins

How?
Seasoning (just like cooking) : Spread a thick layer of polish over your boots. Allow it to dry for 5 minutes
Polishing: Wrap a soft, clean cloth (e ones used to wash cars would be good) around your index finger and dip it in water so it is wet but not dripping.
Using a small circular motion, start to apply the dried polish to your boots until a shine starts to appear.
Keep repeating these steps to build up a nice even shine for your boots (then you can see the reflection of your teeth on your boots!)

Why(for those like me who need to know)?
Wet cloth: This prevents the polish from sticking to the cloth and thus allowing it to be applied to your boots
Polish: Use minimal amounts of polish to build up the shine. If too much polish is used, the solvent(i.e. what the polish is dissolved in) in the polish will dissolve the previous layers of polish you have built up :'(

Don't
- Do not use heat to melt the polish on your boots. There is no need for that!
- Do not use too much water causing your boots to be water-shined. When the sun comes out and dries up all the water, your boots will look really dull
- Do not use instant shoe polish because it causes your boots to crack after awhile. Learning to polish boots really teaches patience and determination

HAPPY POLISHING! KEEP SHINING ;)

Music Drill

Did you know that when doing a music drill performance you can be guided just by the beat of the music instead of having a timer? This makes the performance more enjoyable. To be able to hear the music. :)

Learn to move to the groove! :)
