• Singapore's National Day Parade 2009
  
  Boon’s opinion of the 2009 National Day Parade, P&C (Parade and Ceremonies) and Show segment was…
  “Highly unprecedented, daring and out of the box choreography, staging and execution plus great direction by CD Ivan Heng and Music Direction by Dr. Sydney Tan. Even the Parade and Ceremonies was different and unprecedented in that the march past was at the darker part of the evening. Ivan and Sydney set the bar so high in terms of creativity for NDP 2009 that up till today, it is still unmatched.”
  As a member of the show committee at National Day Parade 2009, Boon, together with Singapore Drum Fest and Fest Events International managed and promoted the extraordinary:
  a) 130 drummers from Bloco Singapura (Bloco was a collective of many Batucada groups inside) and another group The Strikeforce
  b) 3 Top drumming choreographers (all are debutant Choreographers for NDP) - Mr Riduan Zalani, Mr Dennis Sim and Mr Syed Ahmad
  c) 110 SAF Soldiers specially trained by Riduan Zalani to drum inside the special boxes
  Total 240 drummers at NDP 2009

Up till 2008, BIG group drumming at NDP presented these challenges… drumming was: 

• lip-synced (drummers were asked to air-drum) to pre-recorded drumming or

• muted up to 100% if possible with materials such as newspaper and cloths

• placed far away from the audience

• All these are to prevent any detection of out-of-synced audible beats on a big venue.

• Coming from experiences at the last National Day Parade 2006 he was a
  part of, Boon ensured this was changed as he believed always that drumming
  must be felt and not just heard by the listener or audience.

• Therefore in 2009, he successfully elevated the value of the 130 drummers
  from the drum groups.

• Choreographed by Syed Ahmad, Bloco Singapura and its collective got to play
  “Live & Loud” in the welcome of our late beloved MM Mr Lee Kuan Yew and
  SM Mr Goh Chok Tong just 4 metres from their car. Zero muting.

• Choreographed by Dennis Sim, The Strikeforce got to play “Live & Loud”
  within the audience to launch the Parade and Ceremonies. Zero Muting. In
  fact the audience was just next to the Strikeforce drummers. Every nuance and
  note was heard clearly by even a non-musical person. Showmanship was also
  a necessity when they were just less than a metre from audience all-around them.
  As you can see from the video, the audience genuinely applauded.

• Choreographed by Riduan Zalani, The Strikeforce and members of different
  percussion groups got to play live with zero muting to a very unique and special
  presentation of Singapore from 50's through the 2000’s. Real Drumming on Industrial items
  and Real Grinder Sparks perfectly synced with the Music Choreography of Dr Sydney Tan.
