SINGAPORE – The participation of music producers Haramain Osman and Judah Lyne, who are married, in the National Day Parade 2023 was instantly sealed when they received an invitation to do so via a text message from a more well-known musician.
She said: “It’s very tiring because we essentially get together every weekend to put on this gigantic show. But it ends up being fun, because you’re standing around with all these people for a lot of the time, and it becomes a bonding experience. It’s really nice.” Asher Kang Zhang Feng, eight, is the youngest performer this year. The wushu artist from Martial House said he has to juggle his studies, wushu and swimming to rehearse for the parade.But he has no regrets. He decided to take part in NDP after performing in a wushu exhibition at the Esplanade earlier in 2023. He will be part of a wushu ensemble.
“We performed in Chingay this year through the People’s Association and that’s where we found out we could audition for NDP,” said Ms Raj, 49, a senior executive.
