THE BEAT OF YOUNG HEARTS ORCHESTRATED BY “THE LEADS”

Music, is the universal language which has an invisible healing power with human vocal articulation. Once human ideas, feelings, messages are blended with music, songs are born, which bring a deep meaning and experience to our lives. “Three Thal 2” was an indoor musical concert organized by the Academy band, “THE LEADS” with the participation of all intakes of the Academy.

This was a brainchild of the Commandant of the Military Academy to stage aesthetic talents of trainees in varied genres like singing, dancing, instrumental music and dramatic skills with the idea of giving the officer cadets who are undergoing strenuous tight training schedules, an opportunity to refresh their tiresome mindsets and to dwell in the world of music for a break. Thereby, they are able to gear up themselves to follow their training with high preparedness and concentration.

The first part of the session was an appreciation of classical music “Geeyaka Arutha” to impart the spectators with their semantics through the harmony of music conducted by Major K K C De Silva SLAGSC and Captain K H D Nilanga SLAGSC.

On 02 July evening, “THE LEADS” was able to materialize the idea by organizing “Three Thal 2” musical concert to all the members of the Academy with the voluntary participation of multi- talented officer cadets in the field of music, dancing and acting. The programme consisted of very entertaining and creative performances which could climax the pleasure of all spectators.

The Second part of the event began with popular music and dance by Officer Cadets showcasing their group songs, medleys, duets, music sessions, dancing and instrumental mashup. Further, Officers contributed with a few songs to add a glamor to the event. The event was graced by Major General WWHRRVMNDKB Niyangoda RWP RSP USP ndu psc, the Commandant of the Sri Lanka Military Academy as the Chief Guest while the Senior Superintendent of Police- Bandarawela and The Principal of Vishaka College – Bandarawela attended as the invitee guests.
