A Look Back: Lark’s Impact in 2023

In 2023, Lark powered 500 NDP Show Support Committee members as they meticulously planned and executed rehearsals and the final event, managing everything from props and attendance to feedback and performer coordination. The committee’s exceptional organization even earned them the Chief of Army Excellence Award!

This year, as the celebration grows, Lark is excited to support 1,500 members—three times last year’s number—ensuring even greater efficiency and impact. Here’s how Lark helps bring this monumental event to life.

Keeping Rehearsals on Track with Real-Time Updates

Every Saturday from June onward, the NDP committee brings together students and volunteers at the Padang for rehearsals. To maintain a smooth schedule and minimize road closures, organizers rely on real-time bus location updates.

With Lark Base, the team can track, update, and visualize bus departures and arrivals. Automated notifications keep them informed on-the-go, allowing them to make timely adjustments that keep rehearsals running smoothly.

Managing Performance Logistics with Lark

Managing 1,500 committee members across multiple locations and rehearsals is no small feat. Members oversee performers from schools, military equipment from barracks, and props from various organizations—all of which need to stay in sync.

Using Lark, the team shares structured progress updates and makes quick, informed decisions in real time, helping to minimize disruptions for performers and the public alike. Lark enables reliable communication, ensuring that every detail aligns smoothly to keep the event on track.

The Grand Finale: A Dazzling Celebration for All

Thanks to the coordination and efficiency powered by Lark, the result is a breathtaking performance and an unforgettable experience for spectators. Each year, Lark plays an essential role in transforming the hard work behind the scenes into a seamless, spectacular celebration.
