A team of eight gifted vocalists from grades VI- XII of Fr. Agnel Multipurpose School & Jr. College, Vashi, has had an amazing journey in the 2022Chorus singing competition organised by Bharat Vikas Parishad.
After winning the first branch level inter school competition held at Modern School, Vashi, the Agnel team competed at the zonal level at NES, Mulund and bagged the first prize once again! This victory took the team to Surat, where they represented the Konkan province and faced the winning teams from seven other provinces, namely, Saurashtra, Gujarat, Goa, Vidharbha, Mumbai, Paschim Maharashtra and Devgiri.>
This event was held on Sunday, 27 November 2022 at Veer Narmad South Gujarat University (Surat). Esteemed judges Shri Sunil Revar, Smt. Mukhopadhyay and Smt. Madhuri along with a very appreciative audience witnessed the best performances from all the eight provinces. Each team presented a Hindi patriotic song and a Sanskrit song. The lyrics had to be chosen from Bharat Vikas Parishad’s book - “Chetana ke Swar”.Every song was a unique composition based on Indian classical music. The competition was undoubtedly a tough one but our talented Agnelites proved to be a shade better than the rest and they won the coveted Winner’s Trophy at Surat.
Sri Swaroop Muppana, music teacher at Fr. Agnel Multipurpose School, set the soul stirring music and trained the singers- Aroh Tamboli, Tanvi Kulkarni, Arushi Mukhopadhyay, Swarnakumari Muppana, Gandharva Koli, Thomas Lukose and Ayan Ajin. Sri Swaroop, who played the Harmonium, was accompanied by Agnel music teacher, Vailanni Fernandes on the Violin and Sri Umesh Patil on the Tabla. The whole team was actively supported parents, coordinator Kavita Ganguly and staff members Vidya Thorat and Atharva Pote for costumes and all other requirements.
The jubilant winners are now preparing for the final, national level competition to be held on 18 December 2022, at Bilwada, Rajasthan. The Agnel Family of Vashi wishes them All the Best!
