The Singapore National Day Parade 2014, also known as NDP 2014, is a national parade and ceremony that was held on 9 August 2014 in commemoration of Singapore's 49th year of independence. It was also being held the final time at The Float at Marina Bay after 7 years since 2007 before heading back to the New Singapore National Stadium in 2016. The National Day Parade 2014 is divided into 3 segments: Pre-parade, Parade and ceremony, and Show. The Show segment was directed by Singaporean composer Dick Lee. As a decision by the organizing committee, the classic theme songs of the parade through the years were sung again instead of introducing a newer theme song. It was also the 48th and last National Day Parade for Lee Kuan Yew, the first Prime Minister of Singapore who died on 23 March 2015, never having missed a single NDP since 1966. ==Event== The National Day Parade 2014 is divided into 3 segments: Pre-parade, Parade and ceremony, and Show. It revolves around the theme of "Our People, Our Home". The parade and ceremony segment featured the 21-gun salute and feu de joie, which have been traditional ceremonial events at National Day Parades. NDP 2014 also featured the largest number of non-uniformed contingents in any National Day Parade since 2000. This parade also featured a segment entitled "Heartbeats" that recognizes Singaporeans who have contributed significantly to Singapore's nation-building process. This event celebrated also the 30th year of Total Defence in Singapore with a display of the latest vehicles of Singapore's uniformed services. LTC Wong Pui Pin and MWO Low Soon Pan served as the parade commander and the parade regimental sergeant major, respectively, with the segment kicking off as the first time this year with a military tattoo performance by the combined bands and the Silent Precision Drill Squad of the Singapore Armed Forces Military Police Command. The Show segment was directed by Singaporean composer Dick Lee, focusing on presenting daily challenges and opportunities of ordinary Singaporeans. Familiar songs from previous editions of the National Day parade, such as ''Home'', ''We Will Get There'' and ''Stand Up For Singapore'' from the 1998, 1985 and 2002 editions of the parade respectively, were used instead of a new theme song, as well as ''One Nation, One People, One Singapore'', the theme song of the 1990 parade and the Singapore Silver Jubilee, ''Count On Me, Singapore'' from the 1986 edition, and the 2009 edition theme ''What Do You See''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Singapore National Day Parade, 2014」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
