Rock-Bhoomi

By Arvi and Debleena

The battle of the desi bands started with a huge bang when SRM
University band- Jack of All Trades gave a mind blowing host
performance and set the stage on fire with the song Kabhi na Kabhi
sung by their lead singer Aishwarya Pratap Singh. The mood set by the
first host performance was kept intact by the second SRM band which
sung Old Tamil Songs and had the crowd tapping their feet and humming
to their number the moment they started off. When the host
performances were so good it was quite clear that the six
participating teams were going to give a tough fight for winning the
competition. The judges Dr. Manibhaduri, Ms.Shweta Mohan, Retired
Squadron Leader Unni Nayar and Ms.Roshni were really surprised to see
all the bands giving a tough fight to each other for winning the Rock
Bhoomi title. However the two participating teams which stole the show
completely was the second team, O2 and the last team i.e., team six
which sang Massakali from Delhi 6 and sang a song of their own
composition. O2 received the second position and team six bagged the
first position. It is true that the audience response to all the
teams’ performance was awesome and the participating teams really felt
very elated for being able to perform in front of such great people
and for a wonderful and cheering audience. The wining team received a
certificate and won prize money of Rs.2000 and the second position
holder received a certificate and along with it prize money of Rs.
1000.
