A Midair Song: Jasmine Sokko's Performance of a Lifetime
Singer Jasmine Sokko's performance at the National Day Parade on Aug 9 was a highlight of the event. She descended from a cube hung from the stadium's ceiling to dance in the air above a sea of lights, accompanied by 300 drones and LED wristbands distributed to the audience. The performance was a result of months of preparation by defence engineers, including getting an indoor positioning system in place so the drones could receive signals. Over 200 people were involved in the production, playing different support roles to ensure the sound, lighting, projections, and stage automation ran smoothly.
