X-periment 7, the MGIS rock bandSEE A LIVE VIDEO INSIDE THIS ARTICLE…

The school band, Experiment 7 started out as a project work in 2004. This project which was conceived by Minoo Joshi, the then class-teacher of MYP 4, led to multi-disciplinary links and a real passion that continued beyond the class-room. Today, the band continues to exist and are amassing awards. They’re recording their first album and are being invited to perform in leading institutes such as IIM-Chaos, MSU, CEPT, NIFT, Nirma University…competing against university Rock Bands. Their first show was the 2004 Indian Rock Idols where they received a standing ovation as they were the youngest band playing…since then they’ve played and made people swing to their tunes. They also book professional shows and have recorded an advertisement tune for the company, Morello.

the award as the best drummer. The band has also won the second runner-up trophy in the Rock Idols
Contest held in 2006-2007. This is their last in school as the band will graduate this year from MGIS…
