On 28 April 2018, PULSE will be taking part in the Norwegian Band Federations (NMF) celebration in their 100 years of existence, inspiring people of all ages through music and banding activities. There will be 16 Skolekorps (bands) from all over Oslo attending this event. All the bands will be marching in the parade together with the PULSE team from Akershus Festning to Slottsplassen in Oslo. PULSE has worked together with Ante Skaug and Nicklas Oghren to find an energetic and fun repertoire for the parade, they are really looking forward for this event. The repertoire consists of the brand new song “100 år (100 years) Celebration” arranged by Nicklas Oghren and the traditional South African Song “Makarita” arranged by Sihle Mabena.

PULSE is proud to announce that the Prime Minister of Norway, Erna Solberg will be attending and also opening the event. The team is really looking forward to this and will join the parade with pride, celebrating 100 years of banding activity existence in Norway. It is exciting to be part of this, as it will create a lifetime of memories for a lot of people especially the young ones who will be showcasing their talent.
