Special Olympics Band Service

On the 12nd April 2008, which is a Saturday, the 2nd Sandakan Boys' Brigade Company was invited to a band service in a Special Olympics event held in Sibuga Sports Complex, Sandakan.

Unfortunately, at the same time, the Prefects' Camp was held at the same time and therefore, 7 band members weren't able to come out of the camp to attend the band service. However, a letter was written to the senior assistant of students' affair and the boys are allowed to go out of camp.They are: Pte Seck Min Guang, Pte Jedd Chung, L/Cpl Sebastien Chen, Cpl Chung Vui Lam,
Cpl Sweeney Ku, Cpl Daniel Fan and Cpl Siah Boon Kiat. Some of them did not have enough sleep the previous night. They had to take a short nap in the church van. Thanks for your commitment!

At 6.30am, every band members reached Wisma Basel and got ready with their respective band instruments. We reached Sports Complex at 7.00am. Sergeant Kevin gave us a short briefing, and told us the plannings for the band later on. The whole officiation ceremony started at 8.30, by the Minister of Youth and Sports, Sabah.

However, Sergeant Kevin was careless enough not to start the band as the march-past event started. He thought that it was a rehearsal. It was such a disgrace for the company, and for the Boys who stood there. Let's just hope that he will go reflect himself on the mirror and realise how stupid he was!

After that, the ceremony ended at 9.00 am. The boys went back home by then.
