Colonel EFW Barker, Commandant Signals Training Centre (India) pursued the matter and as result of his efforts the Corps of Signals Pipes Band was formed in early 1927. The band is a source of pride for Corps of Signals personnel. The drummers participated in Army Day Parade and Republic Day Parade at New Delhi during 1986,1988,1999,2001 & 2004. The show at Udhampur was organized by the Northern Command Signal regiment.
