Mahatma Gandhi International School

This past month, the current school band, Insomniac Dream played their very first show at the Visual Art Hutessingh Center (CEPT) as part of a concert dedicated to the alternative-rock music scene of Ahmedabad.  The concert was organized and sponsored almost entirely by the music fans in the city and the band-members too were involved in facilitating it. They helped in  advertising  the concert and in the selling of passes.

As for the show itself, the band played a half-hour set which included several popular covers, and even two of their own original compositions. Whilst, their performance- along with the rest of the gig – was riddled with technical difficulties. This did little to deter them, and on the whole, the were largely well-received.

The school has always encouraged students with extra-curricular interests, and music seems to be burgeoning into an inherent part of the MGIS culture and student-life. The school’s previous band Experiment 7, which went on to become quite famous in the city’s music circles, also started off as merely a class-project, and the current band too have been provided with space and equipment so as to be able to practice on campus. We hope they continue to improve, and eagerly await their next performance!
