Pipe Band Performs at IG Park, youths turn up to explore careers in the Army
Bhubaneswar, August 13: The much-awaited Army Band performed at the Indira Gandhi Park
in the heart of the Temple City amidst a high presence of enthusiastic crowd and groups of
young adults with keen interest in the Indian Army.
While the Army Pipe Band from Army Air Defence Centre, Gopalpur, came with a band
consisting eight pipers, five drummers and one band master, the group played 18 tunes and
also had a ground show on the park lawn to entertain the crowd.
However, the other part of the event, i.e. kiosk on making people, especially youth on the
careers in Indian Army was a huge crowd puller. While youths including girls were seen asking
questions on different aspects of joining Army, they also collected different brochures and
leaflets from the kiosk.
The Army Pipe Band staged the performance on the eve of the 71 st Independence Day as to
make people aware about the fact that the Indian Army is dedicatedly guarding the nation and
people should be proud to know about the Army's tradition of saving the nation even through
the supreme sacrifice. The programme was organised in the IG Park in association with the
Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA). The event continued for an hour and interestingly,
people from all walks of life, kids to senior citizens participated and had an enjoyable time.
Speaking at the beginning of the programme, Lt. Colonel AK Gopi, who is Administrative
Commandant of Bhubaneswar Military Station, said the Boys Sports Company at different
centres of Indian Army would offer rewarding careers as well as greater opportunities in the
field of sports. Citing two examples of Grenadiers Regimental Centre, Jabalpur, and Army Sports
Institute, Pune, he informed that during August 19-21 and September 18-22, respectively, there
are openings for induction of boys, who are sports enthusiasts in various fields. They can take
the opportunity and try their luck. Scopes at these centres are available in a wide ranging sports
disciplines so the boys should try hard so that they could have a great career ahead in the
Army.
The military pipe band is well-known for its ability to create mesmerising tunes with patriotic
numbers and currently Army Defence Centre, Gopalpur, is performing in the region. On August
8 they had performed at Gopalpur and after performing at IG Park the team will move towards
Raipur to perform there on August 22.
Apart from the Army and Navy bands at IG Park from time to time, BDA is also organising Music
in Park Programme at IG Park to provide quality music listening habit for citizens of the Temple
City with a focus on classical music by eminent musicians from various `Gharanas’ or school of
music. (EOM)
