SUMMARY:Celebration Of World Music Day By The Middle School- Euphony
DESCRIPTION:Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace\, abolishing strife. \nMartin Luther King once said\, “Beautiful music is the art of the prophets that can calm the agitations of the soul. It is one of the most magnificent and delightful presents God has given us.” \nIn light of these beautiful thoughts\, on January 28\, 2023\, the Middle wing of The Khaitan School in NOIDA held its “Annual Music Festival\,” called Euphony. The festival\, a musical extravaganza with the goal of honoring our country’s legendary maestros\, was a resounding success. \nThe ceremonial lamp lighting by Madam Principal Ms Rina Singh\, Head of Senior School Mr. Sajeev Philip\, Head of Middle School Ms. Pooja Singh\, Head of Primary School Ms. Seema Khurana\, along with a few parents\, marked the start of the joyous afternoon. \nThe soulful recital of Namo Namo Bharatambe by Class VI kids inspired the audience to praise the nation and its splendour. No one has captured the essence of our Janani Janmabhumi—her physical beauty\, her people\, her history\, and—most importantly—her spiritual glory—better than Sri Nochur Venkataraman\, the author of this masterpiece. Each sentence stands alone as a gem. \n \nThe prayer from the Rig Veda that many of us have grown to appreciate from our retreats was then sang by a group of Class VII students. The Sangachadwam engaged and engulfed the audience in warmth as it issued a plea for everyone to congregate together\, speak together\, and for all thoughts to be in harmony. \n \nThe next note was a subtle blending of tones with a whimsical air of persuasion. The Orchestra performed a succession of tantalizing masterpieces as a tribute to the master of Indian Classical music\, Pt. Shiv Kumar Sharma\, while displaying a flawless Jugalbandi\, or fusion\, of Western and Indian instruments. The audience was enthralled by the impressive lineup of songs\, including Raag- Hans Dhwani (Pt. Shiv Kumar Sharma)\, Saare Vatan ka Pyara (Original Composition)\, Kandhon se Milte Hain Kandhe (Patriotic Song)\, and Maa Tujhe Salaam (Patriotic Song)\, which were expertly played on the guitar\, keyboards\, tablas\, congos\, and xylophones. \n \nThe last Western Choir performed a mix of classic songs like “Learning to fly\,” “My Dreams\,” and “Heal the World” as a tribute to the country. The vocalists’ sweet vocals captivated the listeners and infused the air with hopes and ambitions for a better future. \nLast but not the least\, the Indian Choir\, made up of Class VIII students\, astounded the audience by singing A.R. Rahman and Smt. Lata Mangeshkar tunes. Through songs that spoke unity in diversity and highlighted the diverse culture by singing in more than one language\, they truly honored the spirit of patriotism. \nThis was followed by the captivating songs Sau raginiyo se saja Bharat Anokha raag hai (Tribute to the Nation)\, Jayatu Jayatu Bharatam (Patriotic Song)\, and Ae Mere Vatan ke Logon (Tribute to Smt. Lata Mangeshkar). \n \nAs soon as all the groups came together to perform the classic\, “Saare Jahan Se Acha\,” the stage was transformed into a kaleidoscope of different hues and colors. \nThese energetic performances by the Middle Wing’s musical mavens\, which received a lot of accolades and respect from both instructors and parents\, served as proof that music is\, in fact\, the divine way to convey beautiful\, lyrical things to the heart. \nParents’ Feedback (among many others) \n“Today’s program was a musical delight. The children performed extremely well. A thorough and expert hand and efforts of all the teachers was clearly visible. I especially liked this initiative because it inculcates the Indian values in our children through our music. All the children dressed in Indian ethnic wear was a great idea. The rhythmic and melodious jugalbandi of all the musical  instruments was par excellence. \nOur congratulations to all the children\, Principal Ma’am\, teachers and school staff who made this memorable for us.”  \nMs. Puja Mathur\, mother of Advaita Mathur (7B) \n

SUMMARY:Music And Dance Festival- Euphoria
DESCRIPTION:On January 25\, 2023\, the Khaitan School NOIDA held its first-ever “Music and Dance Festival\,” entitled “Euphoria.” \nThis performance celebrated the “Confluence” of music and dance by showcasing numerous dance and music styles that seamlessly came together on one platform.. \nGoals Of The Festival- \n\nThe programme was designed to provide kids with a stage on which to display their abilities in front of their professors\, peers\, and families.\nThe programme allowed each participant the chance to learn how to work as a group/chorus to perform a dance/song\, which would help them develop important qualities like discipline\, organisation\, and teamwork.\n\nAround 150 students participated in the programme across all of the sequences. It featured a number of performances in several categories\, including various Indian vocal and dance acts and pop music from the west. This programme was designed to be the pinnacle of all the learning that the participating kids had accomplished in their classrooms while demonstrating the “Process Based Learning” methodology that our school adheres to and supports. \n \nThe programme started with the principal\, Ms. Rina Singh\, lighting the lamp\, accompanied by Mr. Sajeev Philip\, Ms. Pooja Singh\, and Ms. Seema Khurana\, as the first choir of the day performed “Harivarasanam and Madhava Mamava\,” a combination of the divine song “Harivarasanam\,” or Hari Haratmaka Ashtakam\, that is recited just before the closing of the temple doors at night as well as Madhava Mamava\, a classic carnatic hymns sung as a prayer to Lord Krishna. \nThe day’s comperes introduced “RHAPSODY\,” the first part of the programme\, following the lighting of the lamp. \nThe ‘evolution of pop music’ was the focus of this year’s “Rhapsody” subject for western music. The Western Choir and Rock Band led the audience on a journey that began with the most famous and iconic performer of all time\, “ELVIS PRESLEY\,” and followed the development of pop music over the course of the last seven decades\, featuring artists like the Beatles\, Queen\, Abba\, Michael Jackson\, Bryan Adams\, and the more contemporary Taylor Swift\, One Direction\, and Ed Sheeran\, among others. The rock group also got the crowd to sing along with them and do the famous STOMP STOMP CLAP dance move from the famous Queen song ‘We Will Rock You’. \nThe program’s second half\, which featured a fusion of different traditional and modern dance and music genres as well as Hindustani classical music\, was dubbed “Kalaangan.” Several dance and musical sequences were featured in this performance\, with themes including “Sangita-Ratnakara\,” which translates as “Ocean of Music and Dance” and is one of the most significant Indian musicological texts; “Shiv Mallari\,” a Bharatnatyam dance choreography for welcoming Lord Shiva’s procession with dancers singing his praise; and “Abhinaya\,” one of the chapters from “Natyashastra” that is further divided into 4 types: Aangika\, Vachika\, Aharya and Satvika Abhinaya and ‘Bhakti Rasa’. \nThe above-mentioned themes were musically represented by the Indian choir\, and the dance groups captured the dance elements. \n \nEvery member of the audience liked the energetic\, charismatic performances\, as was clear from the standing ovations each performer received at the conclusion of their presentations. \n \nAll the students from all the sequences came together to perform “Jagao Mere Des Ko\,” one of the most exquisitely written contemporary patriotic songs\, that Sir AR Rahman composed\, as the event’s grand finale. The National Anthem was played after a brief word of appreciation from the principal and a vote of thanks from Mr. Sajeev Philip.
