THE CARMEL BAND

The school band has always been a success on all of the functions organized in the school. It was always in the lime light because of the immense hard work they had put in and their positive attitude towards it, today it has reached great heights and is known for its talent all over the school. This band started on 25th July 2009 and from that very day all the students have been putting their heart and soul together to get all of this in place and to achieve great success. However the band was not a solitary effort. It was a cumulative effort of almost 30 students. There were many more people involved behind this achievement. Special trainers and instructors were called from south India to teach the children to get their notes perfect and all those melodious tunes. Raju sir and Paul sir had given their best efforts so that the students of Carmel could be treated to something different from their original routines. The students stayed late in school and practiced. Even after school ended they spent 2-3 hours in the campus getting all their notes perfect. Sister Swati, the principle of the school was also very encouraging and used to stay late with the students making sure that they did not have any problems during their practices and also provided refreshments for all the students as practicing in the blistering heat is not everyone’s cup of tea. But as it is said

"Hard work pays and is never a waste."

Now the school band has been playing on every occasion and has been appreciated by all the guests present there. Even on our annual day which was the "biodiversity exhibition" the school band was given a chance to show the parents their skills and talents and was greatly praised. Even the media could not stop praising it in the newspapers that how great the band of Carmel convent is.

Simran Angrup a student of the Carmel band says that” it is just a beautiful experience playing in the assembly every morning which has actually given me a chance so that I can discover myself even better."

Sukhmani Singh another student of the Carmel band says that” I have been greatly honored to play on the occasion and it was great fun with everyone and I know these days of my school life are just very memorable ones."

We all hope that it maintains its success and keeps on making Carmel proud.

"Long live the Carmel band"
