Good morning everyone present. I feel immensely privileged to have got the opportunity to share with you the thrilling experience of winning inter-school cultural festival held recently at Doon School, Ooty. The hard-earned joys are the sweetest. One such joy is the winning of this festival. We could win only because we put in our heart, mind, soul and body into it.
It all started at the beginning of last month. Our Activities in charge teacher
approached me in the middle of my Chemistry class. Seeing the papers in her
hand, I immediately guessed why she had so earnestly called me out of the
class. She said, “Our school has received an invitation to participate in the
Inter-School Cultural Festival in Ooty, and the Principal has asked me to
prepare a team of participants. I want our school to win the trophy”, she continued,
“Here is the list of items, let’s select the best dancers, speakers, and other
performers.”
There were quite a many items to select from. However, we selected one fusion dance item, one-act play in English, and a group song. It was mandatory for each participating school to perform at least three items. Since we did not have much time to waste, we selected the participants. We requested the Principal to allow the newly formed team members to practice after the school hours. The dance, music, English, and activity in charge teachers were also assigned the duties to prepare us for the festival. Thenceforth it was all sweat, slogging, practicing again and time again. We practiced our acts thousands of times. Before leaving for Ooty, we gave a performance in the school auditorium before the entire school. We received standing ovation. This cheered our spirits up.
The morning of the competition arrived. We along with our
teachers reached the host school's auditorium. We didn’t feel nervous a bit. When
our turn came, we just gave flawless renditions. We received a standing ovation
from the audience. At the end, the judges declared the result. Our school team was adjudged the best out of 37 other school teams. We jumped out of
our chairs three feet high, when the name of our school was announced as the
winner. We were very happy. We received
the trophy and the cash prize. We did not believe we had done it.
Answer:
Hello, everyone! This is Lakshana. Hope everyone is doing well. This Talentina trophy means a lot to our team and me. This award is full of our victory, struggle, and hard work we faced. There were about 8 to 9 schools participating... I thank all our school's champs who made this moment possible. We practiced a lot and I should thank our trainees who were so supportive and helped us a lot. It was quite difficult for us to practice our drama, dance, and songs after our classes at first. But, later, we were adapted to it. Our parents also helped us and our management. At Last, after coming to this auditorium, we were taken aback looking at these many schools that were participating... But, our teacher Ms. Smruthy gave us great confidence and motivated us. Lastly, we fabbed the program by giving a pleasing and enthusiastic performance. We wouldn't have won this trophy without our spectators' applause and excitement. The confidence and motivation given by our trainees, parents and you audience made us win this trophy... So, for all the whistles and applause for our team, I would like to thank everyone on behalf of our team!!
