PULSE 16
 In
celebration of its 30th anniversary this year, the Senior Western Band
of Wesley College Colombo proudly presents 'PULSE 16' - a gala musical
extravaganza featuring nearly 500 students from ten schools on Monday
March 21 at 4.30 p.m, at the Bishop's College auditorium. This much
awaited evening of music will feature the bands of a large number of
invited schools, including Ave Maria Convent, Negombo, Bishop's College,
Carey College, Gothami Balika Vidyalaya, Holy Cross College, Gampaha,
Kalutara Balika Vidyalaya, Maris Stella College, Negombo, Sirimavo
Bandaranaike Vidyalaya, Colombo, St. Anne's College, Wattala and St.
Mary's College, Chilaw. Bands from Wesley College's primary schools at
Havelock Town and Katunayake will also perform at the show together with
the Senior Western Band of Wesley College and its past members.
According to the Band Leader Lakshan Palihawadana, while celebrating
the Band's 30th anniversary, the main objective of this annual event is
to provide an opportunity for the western bands of other schools to
display their talents. "We are confident this exercise will also
positively influence the future of the Sri Lankan music industry by the
sharing of the knowledge of music. All profits from this event are in
aid of funding the purchase of new music instruments for the Western
Band," he said. "PULSE 16 encourages the participation of all music
lovers. It also creates an enjoyable and fun-filled atmosphere for all
participants and spectators to meet in the universal spirit of music,"
added Teacher-in-Charge Mrs. Thilina Fernando. The current instructors
of the Senior Western Band of Wesley College Colombo are Army Warrant
Officer T.F.A Gressy and Police Sergeant T.A Gressy.
The band is led by Lakshan Palihawadana with the support of Deputy
Leader, Udara Silva and Assistant Leader, Brian Fernando.
Tickets for the musical gala are available at the Wesley College
Office, Bishop's College Auditorium Office and with the Wesley College
Prefects.
