Cultural Interclass: Screwed!!!!
Yup, thats what the batch has to say after the Interclass events... We were defeated by a combination of our own errors, manipulative executives and biased judges! As a result, we managed to get second place overall, which is the usual result for the 5th sem batch.
In Indian Music, we put up a good show that was marred by silly mistakes like lack of timing and coordination. Nevertheless, I got 2nd place for Best Solo [Ashayein from the film Iqbal] and 2nd place for Best Group Song [Soniye from the album Dhaani by Strings].
However, Western Music was entirely another matter. Our band was better than the rest by a huge margin, and we ought to have won all the categories; yet, the executives bagged all the major prizes!!! Talk about bias.. It seemed that everybody who witnessed the show knew who were the best, except the judges themselves!!!
But, as other seniors remarked, incidents like this happen every year. So all we can do is wait for next year when we become the executives..
