Trooping the Colour

The custom of Trooping the Colour dates back to the time of Charles II in the 17th. Century when the Colours of a regiment were used as a rallying point in battle and were therefore trooped in front of the soldiers every day to make sure that every man could recognise those of his own regiment.

Today, the Trooping of the Colours through the ranks of the Regiment is continued as a Ceremonial Movement and every year on the first day of July, the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) will mark the day with a celebration parade. Trooping of the Colours, nonetheless, is the highlight of the parade. I have named this composition �Pride, Discipline and Honour� as I feel strongly that this is the day that the SAF, can showcase these 3 qualities in the highest zenith.

Pride - We (SAF) are the defenders of this land and the Pride of our nation.

Discipline - Every year on this first day of July, the highest �Discipline� is called upon us (SAF) to renew & pledge our loyalty towards the nation and serve our country with our lives.

Honour - It is our greatest honour to serve our country and display our dedication and professionalism, witness by dignitaries and the supreme representative of our country, �The President of the Republic of Singapore�.

  • Traditionally, the �best combat unit� has the honour to �troop the colours� in the parade. The Band also has the first honour to pay tribute to the �colours� on parade by paying compliments to the colours whilst executing a slow march with music followed by a quick march.

Which method of viewing music should I use?

Score Exchange has two methods to display previews of music: seView which uses regular html and javascipt and the Scorch plug-in from Avid which needs to be downloaded and installed onto your computer. Both have advantages and disadvantages:

seView

seView, is the most compatible option. You should be able to view music on all modern web browsers including most mobile devices. Even if your device does not support javascript you should still be able to preview at least page one of the music.

You do not need to install any additional software to use seView.

Scorch

Scorch is a free plug-in from Avid for displaying and printing music. It can also play the music that you're seeing. As modern web browsers are updated, Scorch is no longer compatible with many browsers. Scorch has never been compatible with mobile devices and some web browsers on Mac computers.
