SMKTD Sports Day 2009

After weeks of preparation, the SMKTD Sports Day 2009 has finally arrived. However, this 22nd Sports Day would seem to be a little bit more special…

At 7.30, we started the marching with a few songs, namely “Perajurit Tanah Air” and “Mighty Band of Brothers”. In between the songs, the drummers played a few songs too, such as “Drummer’s Boy”. This year, the band had a new instrument called the Marching Bell which was played by Pte Stanley Chia.

In the meantime, the recruits were marching past under the commanding of Pte Edrick Cheok. The flag bearer was Rec Edgar Koh. Also, 10th KL’s Ssgt. Eunice Lim had the honour of carrying the SMKTD flags with the 7 other uniform bodies representatives.

After the march past, the band was told to perform another song to replace the senamrobik for the VIPs. We played “Tequila”. The VIPs loved it and clapped their hands. Soon after that, everybody kept their instruments and changed to sports attire except for a few who forgot to bring or did not want to change.


The Red House was the champion for Inter-House Marching while the Blue House was the overall champion. For the uniform bodies march past, the champion was the Police Cadets and seconded by the St. John Ambulance. The 2nd runner-up was won by the Boys’ Brigade. Since everybody else already changed into their sports attire, Pte. Stanley Chia retrieved the hamper on behalf of the Boys’ Brigade. The 4th place was won by the Girls’ Brigade and the Red Crescent Society.

In the hamper, we received a big bottle of 100 Plus and a lot of junk food. The hamper was shared by the whole company. All in all, we were all very happy for this was the first time the Boys’ Brigade actually got something for Sports Day. In fact, it’s a first in history.
