I don't know, maybe I watch too many National parades and it loses the sparks. Instead of our boys and girls standing there for the whole day waiting for someone coming hours later after taking their shower, can't it be in other forms? In fact they have been doing this for days prior to the main day! A very robotic display to me.
Have activities in various part of the island involving everyone. The MP will leads their own constituent. Why must National be be just about the uniform group marching in straight lines?
