The Indian Air Force conducted a band concert here on Friday to commemorate the Independence Day.
The objective of the concert was to interact with people and create awareness among them about the IAF, through music. The band symbolises teamwork, harmony, ethos and dedication of an air warrior to his profession.

The band, housed at the Air Force Academy Dundigal since 1971, has 22 musicians playing brass, wood-wind, reed string, electronic and percussion instruments.
The Air Warrior Musicians had performed across the world including the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. The members participated in International Military Music Festival in Finland, France, Italy and recently at Malaysia, according to an official press release.
