Question

Why is Singapre's National Day Parade not a parade?

pa·rade

pəˈreɪd/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[puh-reyd] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation noun, verb, -rad·ed, -rad·ing.
–noun

1. a large public procession, usually including a marching band and often of a festive nature, held in honor of an anniversary, person, event, etc.
2. a military ceremony involving the formation and marching of troop units, often combined with saluting the lowering of the flag at the end of the day.
3. the assembly of troops for inspection or display.
4. a place where troops regularly assemble for inspection or display.
5. a continual passing by, as of people, objects, or events: the parade of pedestrians past the office; the parade of the seasons.

Shouldn't it be a procession through the heartlands of Singapore for the true Singaporeans? Something like Chingay. If it's a show at a specific place, why not call it the National Day Concert? Or National Day Show. Parade is just.. unfitting.
