Western Trio Singing at Tarang 2012

By

The Western Trio Singing at Tarang 2012 began at 1.30pm amidst an enthusiastic bunch of western music loyalists in the infamous bamboo room H-2. The music resonated well to produce a serene harmonizing effect in the rather crowded room.

Following a two-teams-per-college format, the event was dominated by all-girls performances, particularly from Venkateswara and LSR college western music societies.

The very notable efforts from the Team 2 of Venkateswara of mixing well-controlled humour and good harmonies were greeted  very well from the audiences, even eliciting a smile from each of the judges.

The CBS team of Sagar, Krishan and Shrutika pulled off a very country-themed moment; their performance shaped up pleasantly with many of the audience members singing along and clapping in sync to the popular number.

The last performance by SRCC’s golden ladies seemed a little distinct as the team was not able to provide a cohesive unity, much to the dismay of the performers.

Just as the results were being compiled by the judges, Kamakshi and Nirupan performed ‘Look Into My Eyes’ by Bryan Adams to entertain the audience. Their chemistry or perhaps the lack of it added a very comical note to the waiting. The ‘Kamasutra’ song by the WMS veterans also worked as a time-filler.

The competiton was won by the team of Sophie, Gitana, and Sadhvi from LSR. Second prize was awarded to Esther, Rebecca and Imwabamgla from JMC, and the third prize went to Krishna, Ketan and Chaitanya from Venky.

You know you are at Tarang 2012 when .. (Highlights of Day 1)

By
  1. Testosterone flows freely on campus and makes nascent flowers bloom. Literally and figuratively.
  2. Girls take a huge leap of faith and get a haircut at the ‘Shagun beauty parlour’ stall at the festival. Their pamphlet proudly informs us that Manish (whoever that is) is back.
  3. The reason behind the oohs and the aahs near the food stalls is not the presence of able bodied men but the red velvet cake which has a rather ‘sweet disposition’ and sells out like a Shahrukh Khan movie during Diwali.
  4. You see the Student’s Union frantically walking around the venue, walkie talkies in tow. The expression on their faces is a peculiar amalgamation of stress, over work, resilience and a big dollop of tolerance.
  5. A band tries to cover the current cult classic ‘Sadda Haq’ during the battle of the bands competition but fails.
  6. Bands like ‘soul’d out’ infuse life and immense energy to the competition and the ada with which the lead singer throws off his muffler when it begins to hinder his moves has the audience asking for more. However, the clear winner of hearts ladies and gents is the saxophone.
  7. You spot a pretty girl dressed to the hilt in high heels and think to yourself ‘Ah! First years’ *pronounced head shake*.
  8. You wait for what seems like an eternity and a half in a queue that resembles one outside the US Visa Offices or the Sidhivinayak temple on a 1st January morning to watch the Choreo Dance Competition and if you are lucky enough to get inside the auditorium you send a quick thank you prayer to Baba Jugaad.
  9. The flexibility and elasticity of the dancers leaves you aghast and makes you feel like the couch potato you once warned the audience about during a school debate on man vs machine.
  10. You overhear the girl standing in front of you singing “Laaast Taaaraangg I gaaave youuu maa haaart but thaa verrry next day youuu gave it awaay, theees yearr to saaave meee fraam teeears I gayyvee it to someone eespeciaaal” (sic) while standing in (yet another) unending queue to watch Them Clones perform.Pragya Lal

Izraz – Choreo Competition at Tarang 2012

By

Izraz, the Choreo competition at LSR took place at 2.30pm in the auditorium today.

An hour before the competition, a huge line formed outside the auditorium; the event entertained a houseful of enthusiastic people. There were 10 participating teams and each team had to convey a message to the audience using dance movements and facial expressions.

The first one to perform was Hindu Choreo Society, presenting ‘Till Death Do Us Part”, choreographed by Palden di Lama, depicting life after death. Their costumes were very creatively done and they used face painting to bring out their facial expressions in a stronger way.

Next up was Gargi, presenting ‘Mrityun Jaya, the Conqueror of Death’, choreographed Tushar Kalya. Their technique was excellent and their moves had perfect lines, their lifts and splits were flawless. They performed with grace and vigour and were applauded twice by the audience.

Performing next was Hansraj, presenting ‘The Quest’, choreographed by Gaurav Alavar. Their theme was realistic – the unending quest of happiness – and the message they conveyed to the audience was relatable. Their costumes were pretty, their moves graceful and their expressions perfect.

Kamala Nehru College performed next, presenting ‘The Awakening’, choreographed by Bhavani Mishra. The story was about a girl who wanted to follow her dreams, but was defeated by logic. Their dance depicted the conflict between mind and heart.

Next was Sri Venkateswara College. Their dance didn’t have a title but the theme was war and its consequences. Their dance was self choreographed, but it was excellent all the same.

Last to perform was LSR, and their performance, as always, was breathtaking.

The event was perhaps the most popular one today, and the line outside the auditorium remained strong all throughout the show.

 

The winners of Izraz are as follows:

Winner: Sri Venkateswara College
First Runner-up: Hansraj
Second Runner-up: LSR and KNC
