Dehradun, 28 Oct: Kasiga School celebrated its Annual Day on 27 October. The event featured a rich showcase of student performances, cultural exhibitions, and joyful festivities, making it a memorable day for the entire Kasiga community. The occasion included a fete with food and game stalls for parents and students.
Present on the occasion was School Chairman Ramesh Batta, along with Directors Siddharth and Chandni Batta, Head of School Dr Rajput Singh, Deputy Head Arundhati Shukla, and Bursar K Jindal.
The highlight of the celebration was an orchestral performance, “Euphoric Tides: A Symphony of Fusion and Harmony”, by Kasiga’s talented fusion orchestra of 85 students. Blending diverse instruments like percussion, keyboards, guitars, melodica, violin, sitar, tabla, harmonium and xylophone, along with a strong vocal ensemble, the orchestra created an unforgettable musical experience that resonated with the audience and embodied the spirit of collaboration.
A powerful rendition of The Lord of the Flies by Nobel Laureate William Golding also captivated the audience. Performed by the school students, the production was met with enthusiastic applause, with students delivering compelling performances that brought the story’s themes to life.
Further enriching the cultural programme was “Hamsika”, an exquisite Swan Dance drama inspired by Swan Lake by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. The performance seamlessly fused Indian Odissi dance with the iconic ballet, symbolising wisdom, self-awareness, and inner grace, while representing a beautiful blend of cultural traditions and artistic expression.
The prestigious John Mason Language and Theatre Awards were presented for the second time, honouring students excelling in academics and cultural contributions. Additionally, the coveted “Cock House of the Year” award was given to Pacific House, recognising its exceptional achievements.
Also present was Jeroninio (Jerry) Almeida, renowned management consultant, leadership coach, and best-selling author of the Karma Kurry series that has a foreword by Nelson Mandela. His inspiring speech encouraged students to pursue excellence and make impactful contributions to society.
