JUDGING ANOTHER ROUND OF MARCHING COMPETITION

the judges

I went to judge another round of the marching competition for district level held at SMK Taman Nusajaya, Johor Bahru. This time it was the Government Organization Boys' Category. Luckily there were only 7 teams taking part so the whole thing ended early and I could go home and watch the Korean drama series on Youtube. :)

That was the end of this year's marching competition for me. One thing for sure, I really miss the good old time when I was there with Kadet Bomba contingent to compete in the annual event.

JOHOR BAHRU DISTRICT MARCHING COMPETITION 2015 - GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION GIRLS CATEGORY

I was on duty for this year's district level marching competition for government organization girls category. The event was held at SMK Taman Nusa Jaya, Gelang Patah and with 13 teams taking part, the competition ended by 2;00 p.m.

Gone are the days when I had to share all the hard work, the joy of winning and the frustration of losing with the members of the marching team. *sad*

There will one more competition  for the boys category in April.

PPD JOHOR BAHRU MARCHING COMPETITION (G.O. CATEGORY) 2014 - DAY 2

The competition continued today with the boys category. The good news was that there were only SEVEN teams competing which meant everything could be finished much earlier than yesterday. Nevertheless, as expected, it was a heavy downpour so the event ended at about 2:00 p.m.

So that was it for this year's marching competition. As it was cloudy and raining these two days, I am quite sure I have maintained my fair and lovely complexion even though I had to work in the open. But the sad thing is, we have not sent the "Kadet Bomba" team for the marching competition for two consecutive years (we used to secure the first runner-up all the time) and I guess it is time for us to start working again.

PPD JOHOR BAHRU MARCHING COMPETITION (G.O. CATEGORY) 2014 - DAY 1

PPD Johor Bahru marching competition for the girls' G.O. (Government Organization) category was held today at SMK Taman Impian Emas, Johor Bahru. Again, I was assigned to be one of the judges for the event. There were 13 girls team participating (which as a relief). We could have finished much earlier but it suddenly rained heavily today after such a long time.

The competition will continue tomorrow with boys' category. Praying for a good weather so everything can be finished earlier and I heard there will be only nine teams competing. Then, hopefully it will rain again after that.

JUDGING A MARCHING COMPETITION FOR CLUSTER SCHOOLS

Kolej Vokasioanl Perdagangan Johor Bahru (formerly known as Sekolah Menengah Vokasional Perdagangan) organized a national level marching competition for cluster schools. I was again invited to be one of the judges.

The event started at 9:00 in the morning and there were 17 schools participating. There were teams from other states that took part and the furthest would be the one from Kelantan. Only static and dynamic routine were being presented by the teams and without the formation section, the whole thing ended by 12:15 p.m. *YEAY*

8 judges and a teacher from the organizing committee

As the prize-giving ceremony was only to be held at 2:00 p.m., all the judges went home earlier (except for the chief judge). I think that would be the last marching activity of the year for me.
