Which was followed by the offstage event, ‘Playback’, where the participants were asked to produce a video showcasing the everyday heroes around us. ‘Marvel-Lous Voices’ (the ‘A Capella’ competition), allowed the students to display their harmonious voices through a medley of Disney songs. All through the morning, ‘Endgame’, the Futsal tournament took place on the school ground. The judges for ‘Suit Up’ which was an impersonation event, were strongly impressed by the students who dressed up as the Joker, Gabbar Singh, the captivating Red Queen, to name a few. For all those seeking to improve their general knowledge, the Quiz, ‘Pantomath’ conducted by Rajiv D’ Silva was next. The Artistic Titans designed their own comic strips for ‘Marvel Tales’. Finally, the most awaited event of the day, ‘ Battle of the Bands’ gave the audience a concert feel and saw them bobbing their heads and stomping their feet.
