IHS Got Talent!
By Neev Behal and Raman Aswani, Senior Reporters for the Light House
They came, they showcased and conquered… this is no description of a martial victory but of a triumph of a different kind! The annual Talents Day event was held for the boys of Grade 11 & 12 on Wednesday, 18 May, 2016. The event was frolic, fun and extremely entertaining. It helped escape daily monotony of high school life. Those 4 periods just freed us from this race we are running and took us into a serene world where we can spread our wings and soar high.
The various and exhilarating segments were battle of the DJ’s, group dance a.k.a ‘Clash of the Classes’, Battle of the bands & Wacky Talents which included Speed Art, Photography, stand up comedy and the numerous unconventional talents our students had to showcase. All the performances were thoroughly enjoyed by the participants, judges and audience alike. The senior batch danced their hearts off as it was their last Talent’s day in this prestigious institution. While the group dances were a mix of high degree of synchronisation, technical finesse with jaw-dropping choreography, and an apt demonstration of the free and zesty spirits which the boys embody. Words alone cannot fully describe the style of the choreography, but we can give readers some idea of the emotional impact these young guns created with dance moves like the “whip,” the “nae nae,” and the “dab.” Just imagine a tight group of skilled dancers using these steps and movements in solos or in unison backed by some of pop music’s hottest rhythm tracks!
The Battle of the DJ’s was refreshing, with various combinations of music cutting across style, genres, moods and harmonies proving that music is indeed beyond boundaries. Finally, the Battle of the Bands touched our souls, it took us to a new dimension of peace and satisfaction. The event comprised of dances and music with a touch of India, straight from Srinagar to Kanyakumari, with the South style Dhamaka to the energetic Bhangra.

We would like to thank the school for this golden opportunity to harness and portray our talents. This event would have never been successful without the teachers, the wonderful audience, participants and the entertaining hosts!
