CRESCENDO at Jaipuria successfully enthralls in its 2nd innings

NEW DELHI, AUGUST 13: Crescendo- Jaipuria Cultural Festival, returned with a big bang. The Grand finale of the Jaipuria Cultural Festival took place at Lucknow where the theme was WATER. Crescendo provided over 21,000 students from across 26 Seth M. R. Jaipuria Schools pan-India an opportunity to participate, compete and excel in multiple cultural activities. Planned as a two-phase event, the first phase saw competitions and trials within schools, which led to the selection of the 650 best at the school level, which will be culminating with the Grand Finale at Lucknow.

There was an unbelievable display of talent across all groups. The singing, dancing, art, and acting astounded the judges, whilst the creative writing and innovative competitions such as ‘Best out of waste’ took everyone by surprise with the deep insight shown by all kids. Segregated into groups - Maestros, Trendsetters, Legends, and Elites- the children were all eager to not only take part and showcase the best of their talents but also learn from each other, in the true spirit of peer-learning at Jaipuria. Performing Arts, including but not limited to Elocution, Debate, Just-a-minute, painting, message-based art, creative writing, the battle of the bands, school choir, and dance competition, among many others were actively contested by students of Jaipuria.

The judges for the event were some of the best-known experts from the field of art and culture, many of whom turned in special performances. They had a tough time judging raw and inspirational talents. Ultimately, winners were declared after much deliberation.

Mehak Jaipuria, Director of the Schools, said “More importantly, we’re gearing up for even greater challenges of the future. Crescendo is a great window of gearing up our students for the challenges of the future. Our focus is to transform our students from what they are to where they can be, fully realizing their own potential. Our academic rigor, focus, and attention to innovation and creativity in taking care of every student and helping them nurture their potential to the fullest. We are happy to host the students from Jaipuria Schools nationwide and hope this would also provide an opportunity for students to bond with each other, learn about cities and cultures. Personally, I am over the moon to have a luminary singer, actor such as IlaArunji amongst us today”.
