skills apart from creativity.

performances started with prayer to the Almighty by a student who

volunteered singing. This was carried forward with several beautiful
traditional and modern performances with graceful gestures
conveying the ideas and feelings. The colorful costumes also reflected
the visual style of the production in their performances. The
performances were judged by two teachers which was a surprise for
the students which added more happiness to the environment. Best
