Weekly Feature: Unique Ensembles

Did you know that there's a camel marching band in India? This one-of-a-kind ensemble (literally - it's the only one in the world) is part of India's largest paramilitary force, the Border Secure Force. The Camel Mounted Band and the musical and acrobatic teams of the Camel Contingent perform regularly, and always steal the show. Click here to learn more.
