"I'm excited to put on a show in front of a big audience and perform alongside my friends," Benjamin told The Straits Times at the Feb 3 preview for media and primary and secondary school students.
Come Feb 23 and 24, his group will perform for up to 16,000 people a night at the parade, which will involve more than 3,500 performers.
The Fl track will be transformed into a 230m-long display of graphics and visuals to complement the performances the largest for a street parade in Singapore.
Themed "Blossom", the seven parade segments will use floral elements to showcase Singapore's culture and traditions, as well as live music.
