CCA Showcase Day 2009
As to what the wise man says, time flies like an arrow. At a glance, our unit has stepped into its fifth year, marking its start with the orientation of the new batch of secondary ones. The orientation performance took part last Friday, 9 January 2009.

Our cadets have spent much of their holidays preparing for this important day. We trained under the sun continuously throughout the day, perfecting our drills for this important day. The Secondary 3 cadets were in charge of the foot drills, and they have chosen the song “Disturbia” by Rihanna to accompany their creative foot drills. As for the Secondary 4 cadets, Mervyn Sir, our Honorary Officer, had created a Precision Drill accompanied by the song “Numb”, sung by Linking Park.
In preparation for the display for the orientation day, our newly appointed Cadet Inspectors, Wanling Ma’am and Li Jing Ma’am, worked their best to create a ‘Gateway’. This magnificent structure was built by our two Ma’ams and 4 other CIs, who were gracious enough to help us in time of need. O3
The Gateway
At last, the big day came. Our foot drill team was splendid, everyone looking smart and disciplined, doing the best of their ability in order to impress the new Secondary One students. The Precision Drill Squad had also done a fabulous job, spinning the rifle accurately and performing domino sequences flawlessly. We were all eager to display our hard work and efforts, putting every experience and training we have gained into the few minutes of our performance.
There were altogether two shifts prepared for us to exhibit our drills. Our booth was round shaped, symbolizing the united spirit of our unit. Right in the middle of the circle, we proudly displayed various medals and trophies we had won from different competitions since the founding of our unit. Our pictures, rifles, batons, first-aid kit and even our raft were included in the limelight!
Display of Trophies
Although in the second shift there was a slight technical problem with the sound system which caused our music to stop suddenly right in the middle, we managed to perform marvelously until the end of the drill. We were extremely disappointed, as without the music, the drills will not leave a deep impression on the Secondary Ones. Fortunately, the teacher in charge of the performances agreed to let us perform the second time, complete with the music.
Secondary 2 and Secondary 3 cadets waiting for their turn to perform
Overall, it was a very good job performed by the Precision Drill Team and the Fancy Foot Drill team. Although the Secondary One CCA Orientation result is not out yet, I believe we will yield a grand intake of Secondary Ones this year. Let the eagles in AHSNPCC soar to greater heights!
