The most sought after informal / cultural committee by all TAPMIANS, Music Committee or MusicCom as it is called in TAPMI is a consortium of 'Organizing Performers'.  MusicCom 2009 comprises of a talent pool of singers, drummers, guitarists, a violinist and a lyricist who enthuse TAPMI with both western, eastern & classical performances time and again.  MusicCom plays a part in every event of TAPMI both formal and informal. Other than the committee members, through its programs, MusicCom encourages participation from non committee members both the faculty and students.  The members of the committee bring together a mix of traditional and freestyle singing, varying cultures and even genres.  It strikes a chord in the hearts of every member of TAPMI family and takes the learning of the students to a higher level. MusicCom also commits itself to entertaining not only TAPMIans but also the Manipal community through programs like Blaze.  Every MusicCom event aims at involving as many people as possible, entertaining the audience and having fun.  It organises a variety of events matching the mood of the year and based on themes like Goonj, Sur, Blaze & Chuppa Rustum.  MusicCom is currently working towards initiating a chapter of SPIC MACAY in TAPMI.

The song for TAPMI, "Seekhi thi Zindagi"

Every year, MusicCom organizes an intra-TAPMI music extravaganza, called “Goonj”. 

Goonj is an intra-college music competition between the five teams:  two sections each of the first and second year PGP, and a faculty team.  It’s theme is ‘Swar sarvathaa’, meaning the entirety of music, which brings to fore the very essence of completeness.  Goonj ’09, to be held on the 28th of October 2009, represents tranquillity in the form of four theme based rounds – Bhavna (Emotions), Daur (Eras of Music), Prakaar (Genres of Music) and Raag Milap.

The program gains a professional touch with expert orchestra accompaniment and learned judges to evaluate the teams.  On the evening of 28th of October the audience shall have the opportunity to witness Goonj 09 as five zealous teams battle it out at TAPMI's verdant greens. The winning team walks away with a rolling trophy and a heavy cash prize.
