STUDENTS WITNESS THE GRAND FINALE OF REPUBLIC DAY PARADE
Students of Gaurs International School witnessed Beating the Retreat ceremony at Raj path Vijay Chowk. It was a moment of pride and festivity for our students to witness the gala parade. This will be a moment to be preserved in their hearts to cherish for their lifetime. Beating the Retreat Ceremony in Delhi officially marks the finale of the Republic day celebrations. The ceremony started with definite units of the armed forces performing lively executions. During the Beating the Retreat Ceremony, after the live performances, a hymn was played by the bands collectively called ‘Abide with me’. During Beating the Retreat Ceremony in Delhi, at 6 o’clock in the evening the bugles call the retreat sound and the National flag was lowered and the National anthem was sung in musical harmony. The silhouetted riders move away from the background which sets the conclusion of the Republic Day celebrations. The children were mesmerized by the performances.
Beating the Retreat Ceremony is observed keeping in mind the age old tradition, according to which, soldiers called a close down to the war at sunset. This call was the sound of the bugles vibrated across the battlefield calling a halt to the fighting.
This was the perfect time for the children to get in sync with the values as an proud Indian.
