NDP Rehersals 03

wormz777 · 27th June 2003

Covering events are a new thing to me. This is my take of the NDP rehersals over 2 weekends at the National Stadium. As such, kindly comment to help me improve. Thanks. Comments on individual pics welcome too.

Striving for perfection

Not a moment to lose concentration

Proud to be part of the Parade

Stories During Break times

wormz777 · 27th June 2003

Occasionally, we get early spectators

Everyone plays his part

Help from Big Brother

Revo · 28th June 2003

I think "proud to be part of the parade" and "stories during breaktime" best....

wormz777 · 29th June 2003

Thanks everyone!

Glad you all like this series

AFAIK, the rehearsals won't be open to the public anymore. All the photographers' passes have long been issued (I dun have one, dun chase me for it

). I am also not one of the lucky ones who got ndp tickets.

Not having even attended one ndp in my whole life, I'm glad I've taken these pics

Viewfinder · 29th June 2003

good effort wormz

I like the early spectator shot too. Proud to be in the Parade is nice composed too.

espn · 29th June 2003

I love your shots, reminds me of the time I was in the parade also. Didn't see things the way your pictures showed. Great shots.

I like the pic with the RSM and his parade stick.

that's a PACE STICK.... used for setting the pace of the parade by the RSM

i was lucky enough to have a real good look at one when my Warrant Officer showed me his when he was RSM.

SniperD · 30th June 2003

Actually... the pace stick is for measurement of the parade order in the parade square
with the exactly arm'slength between the troops.

and a very handy thing to tap peole with to KNOCK IT DOWN !
