The President's Silver Trumpet & Trumpet Banner Ceremony 2008 –
Rashtrapati Bhawan, New Delhi
About the show:
The Presentation by The President of India, Her Excellency Smt. Pratibha Devisingh Patil on 1st March 2008, was the 11th that the Regiment received since Independence. The glittering ceremony was held at the Forecourt of Rashtrapati Bhavan. The Presentation Parade was followed by an audio-visual show depicting the Regiment's exalted past. There were also displays of trick riding and jumping, where riders exhibited admirable riding skills and daredevilry. The finale was a musical ride, with horses and riders carrying out complex movements in harmony with the music of a live band.
What we did:
Every five years, we take on the entire show for the Silver Trumpet and Banner Ceremony for the President’s Body Guard, in the forecourt of Rashtrapati Bhavan, in the presence of the President of India. We light up the façade of the Rashtrapati Bhavan, display video and still images on an 80 feet by 30 feet screen, project gigantic images on the walls of the edifice and run the show in tandem with live horses and riders. The entire show is synchronised to a rich sound track.
