On the 30th August 2008, the 2nd Sandakan Boys' Brigade Company Brass Band was invited by the Sandakan Municipal Council to take part in the National Day Parade held in the Sandakan Town Hall. Cpl Kwan Lik Jing was the band major for this marching parade. At 6.00 am, the boys gathered at the parade meeting ground to collect their respective instruments and walked down to the starting point near Gentingmas Mall.
At 8.30 am, all the contingents started marching to the Town Hall. The boys started strong and remained strong all the way into the Hall. With fine drum solos and sweet melody, the band managed to impress the community. Marching past the stage was the climax, when the band major had a perfect macework throwing the major mace up into the sky and had an awesome catch!
Finally, the parade ended at 10.00 am. Everybody went back to Wisma Basel, and had a little reflection session. The band members recounted what they have done wrong and what they can do in order to improve the band to a higher level. Then, they went back home.
The band quality once dropped, but it seems that has improved. The senior NCO's are encouraged to help out in the band and drill so that the company will grow faster and stronger.
