Tips for standing up for long time during parade.
-
Hi, I've been chosen to be part of the HQ NCC Day GOH as my school got Gold Unit.
I need tips on how to stand up for long without going down real quick. -
be well hydrated before hand
'wiggle' your toes... play with your tounge, move your eyeballs...small movements but all contribute to keeping you standing! -
Pre-Parade, drink sufficient amount of water to keep yourself hydrated, not too much till bloated though.
During parade, just be relaxed and not too tensed. Breath in large yet constant amount of air. Wiggle your toes. You should do fine.
But remember to follow your normal rules like look up, stomach in chest out etc.
During our school's Speech Day this year, there was actually this NCC GOH cadet that puked onto the officer behind the Guest-of-Honour during the inspection of the GOH. He drank too much water beforehand and was too nervous during parade.

Normally I just wriggle my toes as ppl cant see beneath the boots. Try not to move ur eyeballs coz need eyeball discipline. Flexing ur muscles for a few seconds then releasing them can help u to feel more relaxed too.
btw wad sch u from? our sch performing PDS this year -

Always remind yourself that watever chio bu/crush from ur class/school is looking at you...so if u fall..pai sei max...

OK nvm, we're wearing peak caps =D
-
wearing peak caps make you sweat a lot more. u need to get used to it.
I was PC for my alma mater's speech day parade in late April.
No.1 with extra shirt inside plus peak cap. WOAH!! damn hot sia -
If the blood supply to your head is reduced, you will feel faint and pass out.
Wriggle your toes to keep the blood circulating, and suck in you stomach to squeeze blood out of your liver.
Another reason is lack of sugar in you blood stream. Do not skip breakfast. And have a light snack before the parade. Do not stuff your self, or you will puke.
Drink water, and make sure you pee just before you fall-in for the parade. -
erm i reccomend puking on the guest of honour or falling onto him or her.
-
Nice tips, thanks! Today will be my first training/rehearsal. Don't know how well will it work out. Wearing Peak Cap with Gloves on No 4 sounds pretty weird to me.

Happens all the time at NDP.
