I just came back from the first volunteer session for the Chingay parade. Apparently this is the first time the school is involved in Chingay, so the coordinators had no idea what to do or what went on as well.
When we went for the briefing, we were given a T-shirt and the group we would be taking charge of. Then we boarded the bus to take us to the venue.
Dinner was catered, and the dancers were called to practice the steps and procession. Since there was nothing much for us volunteers to do, we just sat around chit-chatting or watching the procession trying to get together.
The dancers came back after an hour or so, but only for a short break, before going off to practice again. Around nine at night, the coordinators told us volunteers to go off as it did not make any sense to stay on since we were only there to help look after the belongings, which were all huddled in a circle and one person was enough to keep an eye on them.
Just as well we went off when we did as it had been a tiring day and we had to attend a Cathechists' meeting first thing tomorrow morning to kickstart the new term.
Next week will be a makeup class where we will be taught how to apply performance makeup, as we would need to help the performers do makeup as well. Looking forward to that!
