2011 PD P5 Camp: May-11

There are two PD camps this year, one for P6 in March and the other for P5 in May, as we are moving towards P5 camp from next year onwards. A big change we adopted for this year's camp is that cubs are gathered to prepare for the campfire performance before the camp; unlike previously where they only prepare the performance during the camp. This not only raise the standard and expectations of the performance items but also allow bonding time between the cubs and SAs as they prepare and practice together. As our response from the P6 camp participants was so good from their Tik Tok dance, all the Sunshine Auntys unanimously agreed to go for another dance item for our P5 camp too. Only thing is.. the success factor is somehow not within all of our control. Nevertheless, be it the cubs' good fortune or the auntys' powerful daimoku, our success factor, Hong, not only agreed to coach the cubs, but was also able to commit more than the initially one-only practice for them!! Initially we thought Hong still had his Expat Wife play running during our preparation week, and hence only able to spare a Sunday morning practice. However, the Expat Wife's last show took place the day before our first dance practice!! Therefore Hong was able to generously offer another two weekday practices before the camp.. WHooHoo!! Result is.. our cubs' dance emerged as the 2011 P5 Camp PD's Got Talent Champion!! .. out of 16 team performances altogether!! Our cubs were exhilarated!! Take a look at their winning item. But before that, maybe you should also see them during their very first practice? They really do have talent, you know.. A highlight and favourite of everybody's in the camp must be our beloved emcees - Diana and Cecilia. They are dressed up as Angry Birds!! Last but not least, I must show off the mammoth main scoreboard that we made for the March camp, and we managed to preserve until this May camp. However, we decided that this probably would not survive the rainy monsoon period in the damp SCC store until March next year.. We destroyed it yesterday immediately after the camp.. :`(
