Thanks for the info, Any more Flag drills? Is it true that you only do a Hormat Flag drill want there the president is there? Not very familiar with the flag drill. Any one care to teach? Seldom hear it being used.
Are u talking about flag or Colours drill? Cos both are very different things. The Regimental and State Colours ( same as those seen in NDP) are also paraded in SAF Day Parade. The State colours are also paraded in OCS comissioning parade. State Colours will only be dipped in respect to the President, while Regimental Colours will be dipped to most VIPs. There seems to be 2 methods of dipping the Colours. Can't really describe well here.
I never been to many parades. In smaller events, such as the NPCC Day Parade, Flags are used instead, while in NCC Day Parade, the NCC Colours will be paraded. I am not very sure if the NCC Colours follow the same protocol as the Regimental Colours.
