The Junkyard Drummers - An Introduction,

The Junkyard Drummers was conceptualised students from M.C.Kejriwal Vidyapeeth, Howrah in 2008 when they got an invitation from St. Thomas's School, Howrah for an unconventional music competition. The Band then had members of various age groups varying from students of classes 9-12. The Band gave a stunning newbie performance at the fest but missing the winners podium by just a margin. This came as a booster for the boys, who prepared sensibly for the next fest which was the Indradhanush Fest organised by Sun Rise (Eng Med) School, Howrah. This was where they tasted success and there was no looking back for them.


Rahul and Hardik Katrodia, the lead junk drummers of the band brought in the idea to recreate music out of a basketball which was a grand success, this won them The Great TTIS Challenge held in December 2008. This was followed by a victory in Boscotsav (Don Bosco School, Howrah) and also at various other competitions.
