Brekkie Boy Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Does every speaker really need to name check the entire audience! And LOL @ Prince Charles - doing exactly the same as the Queen does and getting the message to read out of their pocket once the baton arrives!

DesmondChan Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 No lah I distinctively remember the band was in the OC. And I pay particular close attention to it cause I always loved band performances. Back in 1998, I felt Singapore could do a better job, and the same sentiment was shared by my family members watching the ceremony. Patriotic, probably, but we have been spoilt by NDPs which were even grander then (my foreign friends who saw snippets of our NDPs actually commented it looked like the Olympics OCs!). And that was probably partly why quite a number of us felt the YOG OC was kinda disappointing in terms of grandiosity and scale, although I felt it worked find for its more modest purposes. That's true! NDP's standard always almost have the same level with Olympuc OC! I get the same feeling. But YOG opening ceremony was very beautiful, and I could just too lucky to attend the ceremony with my all family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huaiwei Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Speaking of marching bands... LOL...but these aren't display bands which we were discussing. Anyway with only 30 mins remaining, they jolly well end the protocol section fast. They still have the various pledges to go, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
