o u t f i t s

Many cultures , together ,

we move forward as one people.

Floats came one after another* Well decorated plus each of them has a hidden meaning to it.

A variety of performing acts * Performers were talented and skilful.

Atmosphere was very high* Fireworks were beautiful seeing it in real life.

Floats stop in the middle of the street->Unfair to those sitting at the sides.

Suggestion:

- Stop at different section of the street.

PomPom brought out a stinky smell -> Affected sense of smell & brought an extremely

uncomfortable feeling.

Suggestion:

- The material of the pompom could be changed.

• To make it even better, performers could have

interacted with audience, thus bringing up the

atmosphere.
