The band also mesmerised over 5000 soldiers and their families at Zorawar Stadium in Sunjuwan Cantonment.
The Band played tunes of patriotic songs which surcharged the audience in the packed hall that resounded with clappings and cheers.
The Symphonic Band was raised in 1990 in New Delhi with bandsmen taken from all military bands of the Army to retain the true representation of the country in one band.
Subsequently, to add variety to the music Indian classical music instruments such as Santoor, Sitar, Jaltarang and Tabla were also incorporated into the military band.
The Army Symphonic Band has the unique privilege of performing during visits of various foreign dignitaries to the Rashtrapati Bhawan and during national level functions like Republic Day, Independence Day and Beating the Retreat ceremonies.
The Symphonic Band has also participated in various military tattoos and music festivals in Russia, France, Italy, Sweden, Japan, Malaysia, United Kingdom, Germany, Bhutan and Nepal. (More)
